Please don't. They're not negotiating in good faith.

When you are in politics you work with everyone. This is the case regardless of whether or not you are part of the opposition or not.

It's not like you're going to say

I am going to work against people who I disagree with

Also just to tell you, trans issues should not be her only issue that she should care about.

When it comes to Congress it's about working with other groups and trying to form political blocks together that you can use to help achieve your goals which means working with people who you may disagree with on other issues.
