Over Time

The trans rights movement is dead:

the National Pulse reports that Evan Low, who is the CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, is telling Democrats to back off from the gender agenda and to quit pushing the cultural fights. For example, Low feels it is time to stop giving the transgender sports issue so much oxygen when people are concerned about real-world, real-time issues. Regarding men masquerading as women in sports, Low commented, “This is not a top 1, top 5, top 10, or top 30 issue.” Low is urging the Dems to focus on kitchen-table issues.

Low’s comments come as the Democratic Party wrestles with how to appeal to working-class voters post-2024, while President Trump continues using gender identity as a key wedge. Yet Low insists identity politics shouldn’t be front and center, even as LGBTQ+ individuals face regular targeting by Republican messaging. “We are running to serve the people, not to distract on issues that divide,” he stated.

Victory Fund Executive Director Elliot Imse echoed Low’s statement: “We are not going to win elections by pandering just to the nine percent of voters.” Whether this view is the product of honest self-assessment or an attempt to woo voters with a centrist approach before circling back to the rainbow is yet to be seen, but both gentlemen have a point. Americans are sick of the whole thing and have become bored with watching people whine about their pronouns into a steering wheel on a TikTok video. The movement may have been infuriating to some, but its moment has passed.

The rainbow has faded...
