Transvestigation

Why, just why. Certain words should never have been invented, why was this one?

Even if she is trans (she's not) who fucking cares? It's ~~nine~~ none of your goddamn business, and again, who cares, and why care? If she's trans, well good on her because she looks great, but who caaaaaarres?

And even if you'd care at all, why care so much to spend time on it at all?

I can only imagine that secretly these guys hope she's trans because secretly they're gay but two guys kissing is yucky to them, so a beautiful girl with a penis would be awesome for them.

That's literally the only way that this nonsense makes any sense to me

Edit: fixed typo

This is a group of people who are almost entirely led by, or are themselves, incels who grew up and got attention for screaming about how bad women are and how everyone needs to be an "alpha male" to succeed. They're not healthy. They are fascists, and every fascist movement has been the product of sexual insecurity.

There's a Ven Diagram out there of conservatives who are obsessed with if people are trans, and men who are afraid to touch their ass in the shower to clean because it's "gay" and those circles almost line up perfectly.

This comment is about pretty much everything the far right is obsessed with.

Project 2025 is basically just a small group of rich, hyper Christian fanatics plotting to dismantle the entire country for the express purpose of forcing everybody to live like that small group thinks we should by penalty of imprisonment if not death.

It's fucking demented

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Yep, pretty much

Once trump is gone (and he will be, soon enough) can we please:

a) Put a boat load of restrictions on religions. Churches and religions pay taxes, period. They can't break any human rights, they can't have any of their materials in any school, or even be talked about, unless if to teach about the horrors and plain stupidity of religions.

b) place a hard cap on personal wealth. Create a load more tax brackets that also keep personal wealth into account and anything over a million goes 100% to taxes. No. More. Millionaires. The world would be such a better place. Governments would get boat loads of money for projects, free healthcare, free education, free public transport, universal basic income....

It's evil and we have to stop it

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

It’s nine of your goddamn business

Oh shit, I didn't even think I had nine business :( What am I doing with so many?

My favorite part is that I think it's Eliott Page, but some trans person who was already famous before transitioning had already been targeted by them, but they had to maintain the story so they argued he was mtftm

That or the fact that Candice Owens being sued is in a defamation case against the first lady of France for accusing her of being trans. Like, she absolutely was a predator towards her husband when she was his teacher, why do you need to keep accusing her of something that shouldn't be a problem.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

In their minds, predatory behavior is admirable.
