Pete Buttigieg is the latest Democratic politician to throw trans people under a bus to further his political ambitions. It’s particularly egregious for the fact that Buttigieg is the most prominent openly gay politician in America, which makes his normalization of anti-trans talking points uniquely dangerous. Fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community, however, responded to Pete’s cynical pivot… and they were *not* happy. In this video we’ll talk about Buttigieg’s dangerous rhetoric, the blowback he got from queer TikTokers, and address the growing anti-trans trend emerging in the Democratic Party among 2028 presidential hopefuls.
