I had previously been under the impression that in the U.S. the Liberal Democrats keep abandoning trans people. Especially around the 2024 election where they explicitly blamed them for losing the election. Despite the key concern being economic issues.

But It's actually hard for find any evidence for this, I know they haven't accomplished queer goals in the U.S. but I thought there was a more obvious examples of the contradiction for queer people.

I get it. Technically even in English TERF doesn't work because there are actual radical feminists that are trans-exclusive but they're such a fringe minority that barely anyone knows they exist, while the people who get the TERF label are basically synonymous with the "Gender Critical" folks who don't have a shred of feminism in their ideology at all.

Both vile and transphobic but one is more like a strand of revisionism within radical feminism rather than something entirely different.
