MAGA worldview is a exploit of multiple side-effects of some evolutionary-useful features, but it behaves more like a virus. Or basically, it's a sect.

I broke up with my mom over her failure to respect queer rights. I was chased out of my town, had to run away at 17, because people were threatening me, my family, my friends - was under police protection and 24 hour surveillance for weeks. All because I came out in high school.

And now she's like "I am a member of the log cabin republicans"

And I'm like "That's cool, you're not my mom anymore tho."

Good riddance.

We should be able to trace these stories to their origins. My welsh mom was on the phone last year saying she saw in the news that schools in Scotland where I am are encouraging kids to be trans. Theyre asking them every single day "are you a girl or a boy today" when they take the register. I told her thats obviously nonsense, thats not happening. I even asked my son to be sure.

The next day, a "news article" popped up on my phone saying the exact shit about schools in Wales. Its so fucking tiring.

They're living in their own information bubbles, and they're deluding themselves to believe in these kind of bullshits. Used to be a conservative just when they decided they're gonna rid all opposing ideology from the world (usually under the disguise of anti-communism), before that I was a kind of a proto-alt-right kid, and they literally believe that moderate liberals are secretly bloodthirsty satanist communists, who will kill all christians.

They aren't entirely wrong. Liberal schools are enoursging trans kids to come out by teaching them about gender identity and tolerance at a young age, and that's a good thing.

What maga perceives is that cis kids are being turned into trans kids because they cannot wrap their head around how trans people are born trans, not 'pushed' into it. Trans people have been forced to mask as cis passing for so long, that maga will point to the past and talk about how trans people don't exist, they're an unnatural product of liberal propaganda.

The other perspective is that kids are kids, and gender identity is spectrum. Not every kid's gender identity is set in stone, and liberal policies that accept this fluidity is perceived as an agenda that deliberately turns cis kids into trans kids.

Yes, mags are stupid. But not necessarily because they are unintelligent, but because they fundamentally do not understand what being trans is, and are also likely bitter about their own heteronormative expectations that they have to live up to.

It's a similar phenomenon to how women coming out as autistic face backlash even among liberals, because it does not conform to people's idea of what an autistic person is like, because decades of research on autism have only focused on boys and men. The same way that a lot of people fundamentally don't understand autism is an internal experience, maga doesnt understand that being trans is an internal experience too, especially when they've been masking their whole lives.

Texas can actually become a blue state, if it wasn't for all the gerrymandering.

It's a space marine from WH40k

They want to control trans peoples lives to the point where they cannot do anything agaibst the mold, or worse, they want them to be killed... and you're here preaxhing about some harsh words??

Grow the fuck up and get back in touch with reality. Now.
