As a trans person myself, it was especially painful to me that this went down on the Trans Day of Remembrance.

Sadly, I'm not surprised at being thrown under the bus by the Democratic Party. I have not voted for a Democrat (nor Republican) for president in decades.

Regardless, I wish you success with this action. I'd been independently considering contacting my (Democratic) representatives about this latest transphobia. Even though I didn't vote for them, they are, theoretically, supposed to represent all citizens in their respective states or districts. I would like to believe that they would act with that in mind, not simply with the goal of being re-elected. But of course, that's not the political reality we live in.
