Texas U.S. House Rep. Colin Allred (D) has become the first national Democratic candidate ever to release a TV ad responding to Republican transphobic attacks.

“I don’t want boys playing girls’ sports,” Allred says in a new ad. The ad is a response to several aired on behalf of his Republican opponent for the U.S. Senate, anti-LGBTQ+ Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Cruz’s ads have attacked Allred for supporting the Equality Act — a federal law that would ban anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination — and opposing a national Republican ban on trans athletes in sports.

Trans advocates have insinuated that Allred’s ad is transphobic and needless, seeing as most American voters aren’t concerned about transgender athletes. Recent polling shows that Allred is three to five percent behind Cruz among state voters.

1. Do trans think that 'boys' should be playing against girls in sports??

NOBODY thinks that, and nobody trying to play in girls sports identifies as a 'boy' either---
and have had medical treatments which nullify that idea.

Some Democratic senators in 'life or death' re-election races have said what they felt they had to say, and I am not going to fault that--- but some people it seems would rather LOSE the election because they said something which was not quite 'perfect', in their point of view,

and elect the opponents who never came close to being 'decent' but probably want to see those persons DEAD.

Ok, then. Makes a lot of sense. (NOT)

I guess we'll have to wait and see where 'trans rights' stand,
after some people help to elect a GOP Senate....


Yes, I'm looking at YOU.

[Think. Again.]

2. Is it true that....

Allred supports the Equality Act — a federal law that would ban anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination — and opposes a national Republican ban on trans athletes in sports?

If so, isn't that who should win?
