In #Texas, #CarnivalCruz defeated #CollinAllred with an ad campaign that focused almost entirely on:

"He voted to let boys play in girls sports."

You know... as I was freezing my ass off during the Feb 2021 statewide blackout, warming canned soup over a candle while #TedCruz was fleeing to Cancun, I tempered my frustration by thinking:

"Well, at least boys aren't being allowed to play in girl's sports!" 😒 #Trans #TransRights #LGBTQ

I no longer support #CollinAllred. It's not worth backing a #transphobic #politician, even if it means not defeating #TedCruz. We know what a #pieceofshit Cruz is, but we have no idea how far Allred will go in office.

Until now, #transphobia was uniquely a #Republican trait. Allred risks giving #Transphobic #Democrats license to fly their #hatemonger flags too.

The #DemocraticParty should withdraw all support from his campaign.

In #Texas, #CarnivalCruz is (heavily) running three sets of ads against #CollinAllred:

The first (natch) is re: The #border.

But the other two accuse him of "voting to allow boys in girls bathrooms/locker-rooms", and another for "allowing men to compete in women's sports", depicting some very masculine looking men (including one resembling Allred himself from behind) hitting & tackling much smaller women.

These ads will only promote the bullying of #trans teens. 😡

#CarnivalCruz has been running these wildly offensive ads here in #Texas attacking #Allred's support for #Trans #KIDS (yes, he's running ads that will only encourage the bullying of CHILDREN.)

The ads say, #CollinAllred wants boys in girl's locker rooms. Boys in girl's bathrooms. And boys competing against girls in girl's sports."

The ads suggest no girl is capable of beating a transgender "boy" in any sport, when in fact the opposite is true. Trans kids are at a HUGE disadvantage.

In explaining why he has never done television, actor Jack Nicholson famously said:

“Theater is life. Film is art. TV is furniture.”

#Texas #Senate candidate #CollinAllred has been hammering #CarnivalCruz for months on his rejection of a #BorderBill.

It must be working b/c #CancunCruz is now running ads attacking #Allred's opposition to T**** #racist #border #wall.

A Wall™ is not an #immigration policy. It's architecture. 🤔
