people said “trans messaging is backfiring!” for years
then last year they said “trans messaging is working!
now it’s “trans messaging is backfiring!” again

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.
hey will. trans person who is also a journalist here. any chance you could possibly add a noun in there next time? you wouldn’t say “gay messaging” or “black messaging.”
we’re people. don’t dehumanize us for short-hand.
ps, the word you’re looking for in the middle there is “rights”
