As election nears, some conservative groups have ramped up anti-trans campaign ads

In the last leg of what has been a heated midterm election cycle, some conservative groups have ramped up misleading or inflammatory campaign ads targeting transgender rights, which have become an increasingly partisan and divisive issue.

A radio ad from America First Legal, a conservative group founded by Stephen Miller, who served as a top adviser to former President Donald Trump, accused President Joe Biden and “progressive leaders” of pushing children to take hormones and undergo surgery “to remove their breasts and genitals.”

“Not long ago, everyone knew that you’re either born a boy or a girl,” the narrator says over ominous music. “Not anymore. The Biden administration’s pushing radical gender experiments on children.”

America First Legal did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment.

Within the last several weeks, the American Principles Project aired campaign ads in six battleground states, the group wrote on Twitter. One of the TV ads, which it released in Arizona, accuses Sen. Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, and President Biden of “pushing dangerous transgender drugs and surgeries on kids — taking away parental rights.” Simultaneously, the group launched an ad in Wisconsin accusing Democratic candidates of supporting legislation “that would destroy girls’ sports.”

Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project PAC, told NBC News that the “explosion of gender ideology” is “one of the biggest threats” to American families.

“Our goal with our ads is to ensure American voters across the political spectrum understand what’s really happening on these issues (despite the media gaslighting) and that Democrats like Joe Biden and his allies are responsible for it,” he said in an email.

“Transgender advocates have slammed the advertisements as misleading and dangerous, and have pointed to the medical community’s support of gender-affirming care for trans youths.”

So disagreeing with gender-affirming care equals “anti-trans.” What’s next? Questioning the treatment of Kung Flu being anti-science?? Oh wait- i’m late on that one.

We just found out that the Democrat candidate for Governor in Arizona, Katie Hobbs, has a husband who makes money from convincing little boys they are really girls and little girls that they are really boys. Hobbs even sponsored legislation to introduce “sex education” to kindergartners. This world is sick and the Democrats are evil!

The ads decry the trans AGENDA, not the individuals themselves.

Liberals lie. It’s what they do.

What is misleading about the ads?

Joe Biden hosted a “transgender” individual, who has a Tik Tok account, where he/she whatever it is, is documenting the transition he/she whatever it is, is making. And Joe praised that individual. Joe said he opposes any restrictions of any kind on these “gender transition” treatments.

And the Justice Department has joined a lawsuit against a state, I forget which one, which passed a law banning these procedures on minors. Apparently there is a civil right to have these procedures performed, per our administration.

So why is it somehow, “inflammatory” or “misleading” to simply state what the Democrat position on this subject is???? How is it somehow bad, that we mention that the president himself explicitly endorses all of this??? What’s wrong with factual statements about the Democrat position???

The Left is constantly trying to make it's little pet-issue-of-the-moment un-attackable.

Here are the steps:

  1. Find some new, marginal subject that a human face can be put on.
  2. Turn it into a political weapon to (a) undermine society, and (b) create a vocal support constituency.
  3. Attack anyone who objects, identify them as "extremists."
  4. Demand that they be deprived of their right to free speech.

They've been running this script for fifty years, to the point that the "normal people" feel we're the problem.

“misleading or inflammatory campaign ads targeting transgender rights, which have become an increasingly partisan and divisive issue”

Where to start? What is “misleading” about the ad? How could you imagine getting an elected government involved as an advocate would NOT be “divisive”?

There’s no such thing as a right to mutilate, just like there is no right to murder unborn babies. Democrats are evil. It’s that simple.

I don't care if the "medical community" says "transgender" is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

My moral perspective is not determined by popularity polls.

Not in this case. Parents by a very wide margin are against the grooming and mutilation of minors. Being on the side that
wants to stop it is a winning strategy.

Excuse me for being pedantic-but I think you mean “you’re a woman”-singular as in one woman-not plural as in 2 or more “women”...
