What a fucking ridiculous priority.
Let's just imagine for a minute that transgenderism is some kind of problem to prevent. It isn't, and what a reprehensible concept, but let's just imagine we are all dipshits and believe that for some reason.

Democrats are liberals, they are just doing what liberals do. They will side with whoever is strongest sounding to keep their positions and roles, however it always backfires and ends up with them being the scapegoat.
The Democratic Party could take a stand and denounce and bar members that do this shit. But they don’t. They don’t take principled stands in order to be a Big Tent party. And because of this Third Way strategy, they lose by dilution. Over and over and over.

This is why I'll never understand the blind support for Dems with the VBNMW mindset. There are FAR too many rightwing Dems for people to just always support them.
