It is shameful how much the trans issue gets conservatives so hyped up. It literally has no effect on their day to day lives. But they have been manipulated into thinking it does

And lets be real Trump is just saying this to get votes. He doesn’t really care he just knows the rubes will fall for it

I honestly think it's largely motivated by conservative dudes being terrified of being attracted to a trans woman because that somehow makes them less of a man in their own eyes.

A LOT of them are attracted in secret (watching trans porn). They just don't like it being out in the open and try to kill them off.

Hell I was in a situation where I had to live with a vietnam veteran who had FOX and newsmax on all the time and voted for Trump, and he was gay and attempted to kiss me and had me massage him. (I have long hair but am straight).

I suspect a huge percentage of the GOP-voting population has either been the victim of trauma or has been terrorized by religion into hating themselves. That said, there are many people who have endured similar but didn’t turn into raging assholes, so my sympathies are non-existent.

I'm watching trans porn

Trans porn: same number of dicks but twice the number of tits

What's not to like??? Lmao

Their world view is one of an alpha male landowner who has ultimate power over his domain and all who are part of it. Anyone who was born with male biology and willingly surrenders that is spitting in the face of their horrific views. They don’t seem to have as much hate for trans men as they do trans women.

That and just like you said, they get super excited about the idea that a hot woman might have a penis but their programming leaves them sad and confused 🤔

[u/marmiteer → u/frozenfade]

For them it’s ok to sexually assault a woman but touching a penis is wrong, so no women can have them.

Don't forget the large, large number of transphobic women out there

He may be saying it to get votes, but that doesn't mean he won't actually do it.

[u/dostoevsky4evah → u/darth_wasabi]

Once he's riled up his base wild enough to be slavering for trans lynchings, he will be compelled to do a few to calm them for a bit.

They'll very rarely, if ever, run into a trans person in real life. And they sure don't follow women's sports. And somehow they've been convinced this tiny minority of people are powerful enough to destroy their world. It's just crazy.
