Republicans don't actually give a shit about protecting women, if they did they wouldn't gut our healthcare options and autonomy. I hate how much people are turning a blind eye to the vile shit they've been doing the past 40 years just because Trump makes the Tims rage.

That being said, a broken clock and all of that.

I have talked to a lot of politicians' offices about this issue, and while I completely agree that the Republicans are a complete shit show on many issues that impact women, on this issue the Democratic politicians' offices tend to be extremely rude and misogynistic. This even though I tell them at the start of the call that I have volunteered and donated to Democratic campaigsn for decades.

So many times when I've called a Democrat's office to say that while transgenders, et al., should have every human and civil right they can't have women's, the Democrat's office treats me like I'm a member of the KKK asking them to re- enslave black people.

Whereas the Republicans' offices seem to actually care that girls will lose their sporting opportunities and actually worry about what happens when ANY man is allowed to self-identify and access spaces.

In my experience, many Republican lawmakers are actually sincerely on the side of women on this one. Go figure.
