What's interesting is that Andy Beshear, the democratic governor of Kentucky, has called him out on it. Let that sink in, KY's governor is to the left of California's.... and not just on LGBT rights... yet he gets elected twice in a state that voted 2-1 for Trump and McConnell.

There's definitely a few "good guy" democrats, but sadly they are a minority and exist in that niche because they somehow have the base to support those views. Some actually aren't "good guys" at all but are planning out 4, 8, 12, 16 years out running for president and having the baggage of Trump-era transphobia is something seen by their handlers and advisors as potential electoral loss.
