    …how does a trans person get this way? Seems like a huge lack of self-awareness or some kind of disingenuous grift.

    Ayo I gotta respect the psychotic level of cognitive dissonance she has. Thats such an unashamedly hypocrytical stance I cant even argue.

    There’s no such thing as a normal child. That’s the problem with conservative’s expectations.

    What a fucking hag, she does know that In the Flesh shouldn’t be taken as a statement of intent right?

    Are there any queers in the theater tonight?

    Get them up against the wall!

    There’s one in the spotlight, he don’t look right to me, Get him up against the wall!

    That one looks Jewish!

    And that one’s a coon!

    Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?

    There’s one smoking a joint, And another with spots!

    If I had my way, I’d have all of you shot!

    Aren’t there conervative teachers too? Based on their anwser, just going off what the image tells me, there are two possibilities:

    Yes -> Being trans is what the children want, after all they are presented with both options. Not presenting the option denies them happiness.

    No -> Being ‘woke’ is what comes naturally with education. There must have been something like the first ‘woke’ teacher and all the other educated people where like ‘Yes, he’s right.’. Conservatives should just educate themselves.

    The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome. Everyone should know that’s not true by now. I’m convinced the people posting memes like this know they’re full of shit and are just dog whistling that they disapprove of anyone different than them, a la homophobes talking about how gayness is “unnatural” when that’s observably false in actual nature.

      In Caitlyn’s case, it seems to be disapproval of people like herself. Even after coming out and transitioning… still seems to hate herself.

        She’s definitely not in a good place. The people she preaches to are primed to think she’s at best a pitiable freak and mentally ill for being what she is but she’s addicted to being their pet trans woman because she’s so keen to feel more somehow respectable than other trans people.

        It doesn’t seem like at all a healthy place to be.

      An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.

    A guy I know at my local bar likes to brag about the fist fights he was in in his 20’s. He’s 53. He also brags he’s had 13 concussions.

    Recently, he was parroting anti trans shit from Fox. I asked him why he was afraid of trans people.

    He said “I ain’t afraid if those f&_$&tts!”

    I said “Yes, you are. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t think about them at all.”

    He didn’t like that.

        OMG. I’m old. To me there are just men and women. They can identify as gay, trans, queer, a shopping cart, whatever. I really don’t give two shits, since it doesn’t affect me and I don’t hold any of these choices against anyone. I apologize if that makes me, uncaring, trans-phobic or in some way a horrible person. Clearly I’m ignorant of all of the nuances, for which I apologize again, but it’s not like I’m looking to date anyone, hire anyone or in any way have any affect on the rights of anyone. I am in full support of gay marriage, drag shows and anything else anyone would like to do in a so-called free country as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

        My only point was that teachers are responsible for a lot of things and liable for a lot as well. I can’t believe anyone would want to do that job anymore.

        If I have, with this post, again offended anyone or once again gotten something wrong, please accept my heart felt, blanket apology. It was not my intention.

        No but it has a bearing on it. If a trans woman is a woman that was born in a male body, and said trans woman finds herself falling for another woman (trans or otherwise), then surely she is a lesbian, as opposed to if she identified with her body which would make for a heterosexual relationship.

        Or maybe we just throw out the whole idea of orientation altogether, (a) because stuff like the above is just too confusing, especially when extrapolated from this simple case into more complex identities and attractions, and (b) nobody cares anyway now that all orientations are considered equal.

    I guess he regrets going dickless and blames it on his teachers is the message? But teachers weren’t woke in his day. I dunno what the message here even is.

    IMO as long as he spouts this hateful shit, everyone should misgender and deadname Bruce Jenner.
