As the Democratic party argues over whether standing up for trans people is bad for their brand, Minnesota Gov. and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (D) has held strong in his support for the community.

During an impassioned speech at the annual California Democratic Convention over the weekend, Walz made his stance perfectly clear: "I'm just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they're going to get elected," he said.

"That child deserves our support. Don't worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity."

Walz expressed similar sentiments in May, telling The Independent that abandoning trans people is "a mistake."

"And here's the thing: we need to tell people your cost of eggs, your health care being denied, your homeowner's insurance, your lack of getting warning on tornadoes coming has nothing to do with someone's gender."
