New Hampshire Democratic Rep. Jonah Orion Wheeler is again drawing attention for his views on transgender issues after calling “gender ideology” an “illiberal, backwards way of thinking” in a new video. The remarks follow Wheeler’s previous support for legislation restricting transgender rights, adding another chapter to a record that has repeatedly put him at odds with LGBTQ+ advocates and fellow Democrats.

    Its impressive on a few fronts. Suggesting he’s an ally to the lqbtqia+ community while dirting health care for a vulnerable population of that group. Managing to infantilize women while proposing a completely imagined threat.

    There can’t be that many voters who want to go blue but are hung up needing to bathroom bills too are there?

      Probably not, but maybe. People are disenfranchised with the GOP, but brainwashed to the hilt with rage about trans issues. I suspect this guy wants to be palatable to that group of voters.
