It’s almost like trans people were a literal non-issue until conservatives made it their issue. It’s the Streisand Effect to the max. Just let trans people live their damn lives
When much of one’s political ideology is based off of manufactured outrage over the mere existence of a people group making up .01% of the population, they deserve all this stupid kind of bullshit that follows.
What you feared under communism has come true under capitalism.
This reminds me of the Biden Administration, who was trying desperately to control immigration, and declaring that they did NOT support open borders, while the entire time, MAGAs were screaming “BIDEN HAS OPEN BORDERS! THEY’RE LETTING EVERYBODY IN!” every chance they got.
If people below our southern borders got the idea that they were welcome to come to America, it wasn’t the Biden Administration that invited them, it was MAGA. Nobody was sending the message that undocumented immigrants were welcome in America more strongly than MAGA.
The other day, elementary age kids received pamphlets in the mail explaining all about being trans, thinking it would turn people against the trans community. It probably will, but it also taught a lot of kids how to hide being trans from your conservative parents, and that pamphlet was almost certainly a MAGA October Campaign Dirty Trick. Now we also know that it was almost certainly conceived, created, and paid for by Elon Musk. Of course it is, it smells just like him.
Just goes to show whoever’s screaming the loudest the most wins with the dumbest people. Which is why more politicians need to realize that they need to constantly and aggressively keep repeating their messages and any and every win they have. Like Mamdani has been in New York.
It irritates me especially when I don’t want to explain what they’re talking about to my children.
Crazy, maybe if we taught about this stuff in school then it wouldn’t be so fucking confusing.
Oh, right… Texas.
Imagine being afraid of talking with your kids about that topic. What a bitch.
Why talk when you can beat the gay out of them preemptively?
If you never mention it to them, raise them in the church, home school them, make sure they marry some other homeschooler, keep them working in the family grift, you can raise them so they never hear about things like Trans and Gay and Liberal and Socialist, and they’ll create a better Christian America in the future.
Are these the same people with a Grindr account?
No. These are the men who had their data stolen and calendar data deleted by Antifa…
The thing is that the very reason he’s afraid is because the conservative take makes no sense and it’s just hatred for hatred’s sake – he can’t explain it to his kids without making it sound that way, because that’s exactly what it is!
“Sometimes God makes people who have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain.”
“So why are the tv people against what God did?”
“Well those people they don’t have to be like that.”
“But if they have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain, how is that their fault?”
“Goddamnit political ads you kids are too young to be exposed to this!!”
"
Sometimes God makes people who have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain."“God makes people exactly as they should be, but sometimes people are tricked by sinners, start thinking their body was made wrong, like wanting to be a girl if they’re a boy, and try to change it.”
“So why are the tv people against what God did?”"Really? Wow! I remember when Sarah tricked me into getting the sticker and not m&ms for treasure box today; I didn’t like it. 😟 "
FTFY: Not that I don’t agree with you or get your point, but I think you’re giving a lot of conservatives way too much credit in thinking outside their box. Any part of the LGBTQ+ community is a choice to most of them.
I guess if you were right he would have no problem that viewpoint – most of these people don’t actually know why they’re anti-trans they just know they’re “supposed” to and can’t answer a six year old’s questions about why
So tantalizingly close lmaooool
Transgender is “wrong” and “immoral” yet all these republicans are crooks, fraudster, adulterers, hidden closeted gays, and support and back the worlds largest pedophile on the planet with the nuclear codes.
But yeah, letting a man grow boobs is the problem here.
Men should be allowed to grow boobs if they want.
But the point of being a trans woman is that you’re not a man.
None of that matters to a kid. To them it’s just a person being a person, wearing person clothes, and doing person things.
I read it charitably as someone born with a male body wanting grow boobs…
But sometimes a pithier statement, though technically less correct, does more work.
I think there should be more mental space carved out for men with boobs, I dated a big dude with a sumo type body and the contrast between the muscly arms and legs and the soft moobs, mmmmm
Hell, our big beautiful gay dementia president has boobs!
yeah no fuck you. transgender rights are not about “men growing boobs.”
I think you’re misconstruing my sarcasm about Republicans and their inability to deal with trans people and how they view them.
Sorry mate.
Don’t forget that Republicans like Rafael Cruz don’t have to use the name on their birth certificate, or that most Republican politicians have had gender affirming care like hair plugs and testosterone.
I can excuse wanting to fuck children…but I draw the line at giving them puberty blockers. /s
Because when Republicans are “crooks” they are hurting the right people. So it makes it okay.
Conservatism has always been about oppression. It’s not about small government or even protecting the kids.
It’s oppression.
It’s almost like we should keep government out of our lives unless there is a good reason.
What I thought was a conservative value when I was growing up.
Which is why our current “conservative” party is really more closely described as the neoliberal Christo-fascist authoritarian party who all eagerly voted for “I’m going to be a dictator on day one!”
That’s how wedge issues work. Take an issue that most people didn’t have opinions on one way or another and beat opinions into their heads until they forget how it used to be something people just let live. When a party can’t sway people on bigger issues, they create some new ones. Then you end up with people whose whole ticket is filled depending on how a candidate feels about this ONE issue.
That poor Leopard is going to die of over consumption.
Faceabeetus
Wow what a fucking asshole
Can’t have your kids learning about counterculture on the off chance they self-actualize instead of becoming your legacy.
Correct-- If republicans stopped stripping them of their rights and loudly demanding to see the genitals of every highschooler, there would be basically no problems. It’s called manufactured outrage, and it’s how They™ control the masses.
I read that and was thinking he almost " got it" but he didn’t.
Conservatism should be illegal.
It is, from a certain point of view
