    The trans community and it’s supporters know they’re being attacked by the right and needs to vote Dem, so they’ve got that locked in. What political advantage is there in making it a campaign issue for the Dems when the GOP has done all the work already?

      Because Dems in power in the US have a track record of using trans rights as political bargaining chips. They have done it many times. The reality is that some democrats care about the human and civil rights of trans people, and some don’t. I don’t trust them with trans rights at all.

      That said, for the convention dems probably saw the polling that shows that people are sick of hearing about trans issues, and decided to avoid it.
