Sarah McBride on why support for trans rights ebbed - and how to build it back up
Briefly

Rep. Sarah McBride discusses the declining support for transgender rights in a recent podcast appearance. She attributes this loss not to trans individuals but to a false sense of security among allies and a well-orchestrated anti-trans campaign. McBride emphasizes the need for effective persuasion and meeting individuals where they are, rather than expecting complete agreement or understanding. She highlights the need for the LGBTQ+ movement to adapt and reclaim support by addressing the changing political landscape and reaffirming its message.
We've lost the art of persuasion... There was a very clear, well-coordinated, well-funded effort to demonize trans people, to stake out positions on fertile ground for anti-trans politics.
Candidly, I think we've lost the art of persuasion... We're not in this position because of trans people.
