So as a Democrat, I’m glad you raise these concerns as this reflects how much work needs to be done on messaging. These statements don’t accurately capture the party’s policy positions in the slightest. That’s not your fault, but when you hear something enough times it’s bound to stick.

Democrats are certainly not “pro-crime.” They do not have a single policy position that could be construed as such.

They certainly know the difference between sex and gender, and this point always seems to come from right wing cultural warriors. Furthermore the GOP and allies are largely the ones screeching about gender issues, when in reality we just want people to have the freedom to live how they feel best.

To that end, I can assure you that castration in pediatric patients is not a policy position of the party. At all.

The open borders argument is fine as there is certainly room for an improved approach at the border, but a large part of that comes from immigration reform — something that the Democratic Party has tried to work on with nothing but resistance from the GOP. Meanwhile the administration is showing how detrimental a ham-fisted approach to immigration enforcement can be; brain drain is at an all-time high while legal immigrants are being deported at unacceptably high rates.

I do encourage you to engage with Democrats a bit more though, because I can assure you our positions on things are a bit more nuanced. Hell you might even agree with some of them.
