The “Policy Crisis” is a direct result of Republicans having control of 28 State legislatures and have continued to either control or have tacit control of the federal legislatures (e.g. the 60 vote threshold in the Senate).
I am not in agreement with attacking liberals for using the only tools in their toolbox (executive orders, etc.) and not acknowledging that the core issue is simple: the Republican Party is vehemently anti-trans (and anti-LGBTQ+ more broadly).
Apparently, liberal politicians are the only people with agency, and so they hold responsibility for their inability to overcome a massive anti-LGBTQ+ political machine that is dedicated to blocking all progress?
I'm reading this right after leaving a rally hosted by the Democratic Party in my state that had multiple elected officials present to speak. I live in a very solidly red state, so red that the Democrats haven't had control of the House in 3 decades and the Senate in over a century. The attack on trans rights has intensified significantly here. For instance, I've been avoiding updating my driver's license for as long as I can because our state Attorney General not only banned gender markers changes but has ordered any changes that have already made to be reverted back. We had only regained the right to change our gender marker 4 years prior thanks to our Democratic governor. This year, the first law that was passed was not only a total ban on gender affirming care for minors, but it makes it illegal for any healthcare professional or state employee to even talk about transness with minors. We've had six anti-trans laws pass in 3 years and nearly had a pronoun ban pass this year that basically would have made it illegal to correctly gender trans students. I say all this because I had all of that in mind when I went to that rally today and yet nobody mentioned trans people a single time. While the Democrats here are good at voting against anti-trans bills, they are distinctly unmotivated to do anything more than that. They couldn't even be bothered to mention things like the five anti-trans executive orders Trump issued this year but sure could talk about the rest of them. So no, I absolutely think they are part of the problem.
Yours is a pathetic knee jerk (jerk) response to a serious issue. Mimicry has nothing to do with gender identity. Mimicry is a bunch of spoiled over age playground bullies pretending they are serious men who deserve respect by virtue of being cisgender men. Mimicry is Trump pretending to be a Christian when he pisses all over the content of the Gospels.

You’ve got to be kidding me.
You’re an apartheid apologist in a new era.
Just substitute “white” or add it as necessary and you’re making the same horrid, asinine arguments.
