~~feelings~~ rights FTFY
Campaign promises don't hurt any rights because they don't need to be kept, they're required to be elected.
They're passing anti-trans laws left and right at the state level. Always assume a Republican is telling the truth when they talk about planning to do something awful.
Also campaign promises do hurt because they normalize persecution of minority groups.
In Republican States, no Democrats has campaigned on trans rights yet they actually do things to protect their rights once elected, that's political strategy.
