https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/trump-voters-teamsters-union-philadelphia-20241121.html

Edmund Farley, a Local 107 member, voted for the first time in his life this year when he cast a ballot for Trump. Farley, 50, said he was looking for change in the countrys direction and said it was definitely social issues that motivated his vote.

I didnt like the whole thing about men being able to play in womens sports, said Farley, a father of two daughters, about the idea of transgender women and girls competing in athletic programs for women. He also took issue with transgender women using womens bathrooms alongside his daughters, he said

Trump and his surrogates made attacks against transgender people central to their campaign, spending millions of dollars on anti-LGBTQ ads that demonized Harris for her support for transgender people. Several people mentioned one prominent anti-Harris commercial about gender-affirming care called sex changes in the ad for undocumented people in prisons.
Hamilton saw the ads while watching football on Sundays.

This is all so stupid that I just don't really have anything to add. The article is very long so I didn't want to quote the whole thing.

When I look at logic like that I automatically assume the people are fucking idiots with no real knowledge or interest in politics who got swept up in social media bullshit because they have no media literacy. Every transphobe I've come across has been either terminally online, really stupid, or both.

That doesn't apply to the Teamsters. They are a very politically active union.

Harris literally cast the deciding vote to save their pensions to the tune of 80 billion dollars.

The problem is the media which is largely owned by right wingers is focusing on trans panic for votes.

The fact is Harris' campaign ran on labor rights and didn't really talk about trans people at all. However, the Trump voters only saw the trans panic talking points and felt that Harris only cared about trans people.

That's why this is all so dumb.

So people who should care about social issues voted because they thought Trump would be better for the economy and people who knew he would suck on the economy voted for him on social issues.

Men are not playing in women's sports. Also once completely transitioned any "natural advantage" a trans woman may have had is gone.

Just remember the most well known cases of trans athletes are ether someone who tied for fifth place, or a woman who was born female who just happens to look masculine.

They are afraid of nothing.

The words of a coward and ignoramus, and above all an useful idiot for a man who wishes nothing but harm for people like him.

He also took issue with transgender women using womens bathrooms alongside his daughters, he said.

These obsessive weirdos always seem to think trans people have nothing better to do with their time than to go camp out in restrooms. They do their business, wash their hands, and get out like anyone else. And he probably wouldn't even be able to tell a trans person from a cis person if his life depended on it.

That would be quite bad for all the ones who didn't vote Trump.

I think that the fewer Trump policies that get enacted, the better.

This isn't even a 'leopards ate my face' thing (I mean it will be in other ways but as far as this story). It's more like a 'fed my daughters to the leopards because I was afraid of the boogeyman getting them' thing.
