When Democrats nominate Chase Strangio for President or pick him to give the SOTU response, we can start talking. You see Chris Rufo on Fox all the time. How often is Chase Strangio on MSNBC? This piece today veered into the absurd, unfortunately.

Chase Strangio is quoted in Charlie's piece today. He's a lawyer for the ACLU who specializes in trans matters and is often their public voice on such matters. He is himself a transman, and is about as far to the left as you can get when it comes to any sort of controversial issues like transwomen in sports, affirmative care at any age, medicalization at any age, etc.

So it's just his opinion. It is not the Democratic platform.

Right. He's a cartoon character that the right uses to mischaracterize Democrats because he works at the ACLU. He's a leftwing activist and does not represent the Democratic party.

Unfortunately, he represents the ACLU, which deserves the appropriate scorn it is receiving these days.
