I get what you're saying, but no, no hot take. Some people just didn't want to vote for a woman. How that lines up with how many people voted for trump because he was a republican, no idea.
Likewise, some people won't vote for mayor Pete because he's gay, not because he's a democrat. Hell, he's more of what the good professes to be than trump is.
Edit to add: I'm not saying that's why she lost. Hell, she won the popular vote. No candidate loses or wins for one line reason.
Oh by all means, I agree with you that "some" people didn't vote for her because she is a woman, and "some" people won't vote for Mayor Pete because he is gay.
I guess I was having issues with your original "large chunk" descriptor, which makes it seem like they are a majority, or at least a very very significant minority.
