Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican running in 2025 to succeed Youngkin spent the majority of her campaign ad budget on anti-trans ads. She lost by 15 points.
In all the major races that year, anti-trans ads failed to move candidates past the finish line. They cannot save a candidate from losing.

Left-wing parties have little to gain by abandoning trans people, but they do have a lot to lose if they do. A YouGov survey conducted earlier this year in the UK found that the Labour Party lost many of its voters because it was seen as anti-trans and too right-wing. #ukpol
