In a democratic republic, representatives are elected to represent portions of the population and every citizen gets to vote on who those representatives will be.

The rest are "second class" citizens with no voice in how their lives are governed and posses only the rights and freedoms that the voting class decides to allow.

Clearly the practice of pandering to hate is working in red states. So I picked a transphobe out of the crowd and asked him a question.An overwhelming majority of transgender people report immediate and significant improvements to their overall happiness and well-being after transitioning.
