aoc telling trans people she'll always stand with them is another trap disguised as an empty promise. the evidence is in her actions to this point. centrist as she ever was, using trans hope as an approval tool.

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.
