    They think 21% are transgender too… A lot of propaganda has gone through these people.

      “Transvestigation” is fucking insane and there are a lot of people who are convinced that many celebrities are secretly trans.

      I think it mostly started with disgusting conspiracies about Michelle Obama (they literally believe that Sasha and Malia were kidnapped, even have specific missing children they think they are). Alex Jones and his ilk think Michelle was born Michael.

      This was a thing that developed I think late in his presidency, then it expanded to several other figures. My favorite is Donald Glover as a trans man - I’ll gladly welcome Childish Gambino into my community.

      It’s a serious “Q anon” type mentally ill worldview.

        Donald Glover as a trans man? I’m currious what makes them think that? Either way, dudes a fucking legend and is welcome in any community I’m in.

          That’s because he’s incredibly awesome and poignant in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY

          We can’t have people respecting a black man who shows the reality of the situation, can we?

          Once you know ALL of the Tell Tell Signs, You will Start To See Them More Frequently In Real Life, Just Like When You Buy A New Car, You Start To Notice That Same Car EVERYWHERE?!, Well That Same Rule Applies To This; Once You SEE THEM, YOU CANNOT UNSEE THEM, AND THEY APPEAR EVERYWHERE IN YOUR REALITY BECAUSE THEY ARE EVERYWHERE IN YOUR REALITY. IT’S A BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS, TRANSGENDER AUGMENTATION SURGERIES THAT IS,… HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHO THE CLIENTS ARE?

          The comments are also… very interesting. Apparently Tyler Perry, Will Smith, Journey’s Steve Perry and fucking Messi are trans men.

          We are legion!

            Messi

            But I thought only trans women were “cheating” at sports.
