I voted straight Democratic ticket, as I always do, and contributed to the Harris/Walz campaign on a weekly basis. I also wrote and paid the postage for campaign postcards through Daily Kos. I will continue to work to elect Democratic candidates to all levels of government.
But I am also a gender critical feminist, and it frustrates me that Democrats have embraced the most extreme aspects of the trans rights movement without really examining what that agenda means for women and girls in sports and in public spaces previously segregated in the basis of biological sex.
It also angers me that liberal Dems have chosen to respond to our concerns by calling us ignorant bigots who are tools of the white nationalist patriarchy. As feminists, we are hardly that, but we've been forced into an uncomfortable alliance with the right because the left has made it plain we are not welcome. This unquestioning embrace of the "transwomen are women" and all its consequences for women is definitely one of the reasons Harris lost.
