I don’t know, maybe have an ounce of solidarity and don’t engage with transphobia.

Yeah ... best thing she could do is just not comment on the issue at all, ever. Just don't engage with the culture war bullshit at all. Any time she's asked, ignore the question and talk about economic issues or rule of law instead.

"Do you think trans athletes should be allowed in girl's sports?" --> "What I care about is making sure the American people can afford to buy groceries, making sure they're not getting unconstitutionally snatched off the street by masked federal agents."

That's how you can win from the 'left' while in a heavily right-leaning district.

Left isn't about to win culture wars against religious fanatics.

Those with hate towards Trans people, Hindus, Muslims, Latinos or whichever group they dislike are not going to change because of what anyone from out-group says to them.

Only thing Left can successfully do is not let them pull you into mud wrestling whenever they feel like it. Focus on working class. Trans folks suffer from a high cost of living just the same.
