The Trans Superiority Narrative—TSN–is widely unpopular and is failing across the country. Yet Democrats and their DSA rulers continue to loudly and abrasively support it.

The second Trump Administration has had great success in forcing the medical profession to abandon chemical and surgical mutilation of children, though several notable multi-million-dollar civil verdicts against doctors and hospitals have helped convince the owners and physicians at leftist hospitals to abandon a formerly lucrative “service” to mentally ill children and their equally handicapped parents.
Still, Normal Americans often can’t fathom why Democrats embrace such a destructive, evil ideology with such pseudo-religious fervor.

Doug Schoen is a Democrat lawyer, political analyst, author, lobbyist, and political commentator. He has worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as other Democrats, and can now often be found on Fox News. He’s well qualified to explain the inexplicable:
Alongside advocating for an agenda that is radical in its drive to reshape America – and is broadly unpopular – the DSA’s influence has left Democrats on the wrong side of an issue that the party has been hobbled by in the past: transgender policies.
Simply put, the DSA’s strong opposition to legislation banning biological males from competing in women’s sports has come to define where the national Democratic Party stands, much to its detriment.
Unsurprisingly, Democrats, some of whom are trying to back away from the DSA, share the DSA’s TSN delusions, and are aggressive about rubbing Normal Americans’ faces in it.
In Florida, Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds has made transgender issues a central line of attack against Democrat David Jolly, including Jolly’s position on gender-affirming care for minors. Jolly disputes Donalds’ characterization of his position.
Moreover, in Massachusetts, during a debate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Ed Markey, primary challenger Rep. Seth Moulton was forced to reverse himself and walk back comments he made just two years ago.
At the time, Moulton said, “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete.”
Fast-forward to their 2026 debate earlier this month: Moulton walked back his phrasing, apologizing to the trans community for any pain caused while insisting his underlying goal was to encourage open debate within the party.
Democrats caught in insupportable and simply insane positions often claim they’re merely trying to start a “conversation.” Their default response to such “conversations” is: “Shut up, you racist!”
Analyses of the 2024 election compellingly suggest that this could well have played a decisive role in the outcome.
The DNC’s post-election autopsy “determined [Kamala] Harris had no answer” to “Republicans’ very effective advertisements” highlighting Harris’ position.

Further, according to one PAC’s analysis, then-candidate Donald Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you” ad was so effective that it shifted the race almost 3 points in Trump’s favor, double his 1.5 percentage-point margin of victory in the popular vote.
The Trump campaign also pointed to the ad’s success with suburban women, a key demographic.
Even among Democrats, support for allowing transgender athletes to play on teams that align with their current gender identity has dropped 10 points since 2021, now sitting below a majority, at 45% – despite party leadership’s embrace of the position.
Why would they embrace such an unpopular policy? I was about to ask why they would embrace such an evil policy, but that would be redundant.
To that end, neither Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer nor House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been willing to take specific positions aligning with popular views favoring bans on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Schumer has been the most explicitly opposed to the bans, calling them “despicable,” while Jeffries has been more measured, simply saying that Democrats care about “fairness in sports” but refusing to support legislation seeking to bar the practice.
Some of this is surely Democrats’ reflexive opposition to everything Normal Americans value, worsened by their knee-jerk opposition to everything Donald Trump supports. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a debilitating, often politically terminal disease.
Put another way, the far left’s and DSA’s veto over Democratic policy puts the entire party on the wrong side of another key issue. And unfortunately, all signs point to this problem continuing to be a drag on Democratic support in the midterms and into the 2028 presidential election.
I’ll have to disagree with Schoen’s “unfortunately.” Democrats’ support for morally insupportable, anti-American, and destructive policies is fortunate indeed for the electorate. It gives Americans the opportunity to see the Democrat/DSA Party at their clearest, most exposed, and violent core. They’re for the permanent mutilation of the bodies and minds of children. They’re for the destruction of women’s sports and injuries to their bodies and minds. They’re for doing whatever they can to harm America and Americans.
As with our Islamist enemies, it’s best to take them at their word and act accordingly.
