And that’s exactly what happens - well, I’m called a transphobe and a “transmisogynist” (big LOL on that one) but then also assumed to be conservative and not liberal. Then on the other hand our conservatives here are certainly not on the side of women - even our right to an abortion is on the table for removal now (after decades of being whittled away little by little.)

The "transmisogynist" always makes me laugh too. It's always actual women they're accusing of misogyny against them, and it's always for something like casually disagreeing with one of their opinions. They often accuse us of "speaking over them" for the same petty reasons. As if they'll ever know what it is to be spoken over.

While the Republicans have their own Equality Act (the Fairness For All Act) already in the US House, on the issue of women's sports, women's privacy and safety, free speech around this issue, and the transitioning of children, the Republicans for the most part are on our side, at least for now.

I don't know how much traction the Republican Fairness For All Act is going to get, but Republican women are very effective organizers - they make up most of the numbers in terms of push back against the Equality Act - so I think that if Republican women stand strong, their party leaders might back down on the Fairness For All Act. MIGHT.

The GOP hate women, and Big Pharma spends the most lobbying dollars of any lobby, so whether the Republicans continue to push back against Trans, Inc., is a very big MAYBE.
