    vilifying trans people is exactly how they get away with being nazis. shit, that’s the whole fucking point of coming up with fake enemies in the first place.

    this dude is only posting this so he can toot his own horn like “look how ‘complicated’(incoherent and baseless) my politics are. thats how you KNOW im smart”

    the fact that this dude’s only policy towards children he felt was notable to make this dumb ass list being to abuse trans kids then i know he doesnt believe in making sure all kids have food and a house and an education. and if you don’t care about that why would i believe you’re ever coming from a place of concern with your transphobic bullshit? these people dont care about kids. they just hate trans people and its weird as fuck

    How pudding headed is a person if their political deal breaker, aside from everything else, is trans people existing. How is it that important to anyone who’s cis?

    “I want a more equal society and wanna end fascism but my most important issue regardless of anything else, including my own livelihood, is ensuring trans people are never accepted or allowed to live. Thus I am forced to endorse every fascist position that actively harms me and everyone around me.”

    Honestly the transphobia thing seems like some chuds are just embarrassed about how chud they are, so they focus on one of the more socially accepted forms of bigotry to carry water for how they don’t actually care about ICE or abortion or whatever.

    There is nothing more horrifying to these people than their children not fitting whatever model they have in mind for them. If a vaccine could make the child autistic (it doesn’t) better the child die than get it. If trans care will make the child into something I do not understand, better they not receive the care and suffer. Learning is bad, accepting different things is bad, my child is my slave they have no rights (when they are an adult they must be totally self reliant though).

    The conservative grasp of policy is always exceptional.

    Your kid can’t take puberty blockers under the age of 18 anyway, since you, their bigoted father, would not give the necessary consent.

    tile and grout guys / floorlayers probably ingest more fuckin’ chemicals working day to day than the most transitioning trans person.

    How much silica dust are you taking home to your “kid under 18” that’s filling their lungs with concrete?

      What is it about construction that makes it a Chud factory? You’d think blue-collar people would understand some class consciousness, but these people have taught me to be very careful around them.

        The journeyman - apprentice relationship is specifically mentioned in the communist manifesto and still operates basically the same today. All grunt work is put onto the apprentice and most journeypeople won’t even teach them until they decide they like them.

        The idea that it’s real work not like those lazy or weak office people.

        Still mostly all men in the industry. The ratio is getting better but it’s hard to incentivize getting harassed at work

        Making just enough to think maybe one day they can be rich/start their own contracting company.

        A lot of trades consider other jobs beneath them.

    These reads like he is afraid his kid is gonna be forced to take hormones or some shit. Nobody is doing that. If your kid is trans they were gonna be that way regardless of your fears and woes.

    I’ll never understand the irrational hatred towards trans people from chuds. Sure, I can understand if your toilet bowl brain has shit turds of religious brainworms, but you got reddit atheists even hating on trans people, and it’s like, what’s your fucking excuse outside of being a hateful bigot?

      Your average reddit atheist is still KKKri$$tian. They have not thoroughly purged the brainworms of their KKKri$$tian upbringing.

      This is also why so many of them pivoted to just being islamophobic.

      My theory is that, because their only exposure to us is through porn, they perceive us as inherently sexualized objects. We aren’t people, we’re masturbation content i.e. should not be allowed in public life or people to which children should be exposed.

        This is also why homosexuality was publicly suppressed for so long as well. Being gay was seen as inherently sexualized in a way that being straight was not. The mere existence of a gay person was a scandal, kids could not be exposed to their very existence.

      So I think it’s defensive projection. If they let down their wall of fear, they might have to come to terms with their insecurity. The fact that they have had queer thoughts and never came to terms with it. They hide their feminine/masculine/freaky side, I believe the entire conservative culture suppresses their true nature because they are trained to fear judgement. The more you attack a subgroup the more likely you do it out of insecurity. How many times have we seen the most hateful person towards LGBTQ end up having some freaky stuff hiding in the closet. If you have no healthy outlet, it can become a monster.

        To add a bit more nuance to this, denying trans people their gender gives them no need to justify theirs in their eyes. They consider their ASAB to give themselves inherent traits. It’s a form of gatekeeping. People are affraid of their ASAB not meaning much in the end. This is also why TERFs are bioessentialist. They want to gatekeep the experience of womanhood to people who were AFAB. It might be because of insecurity, but it can also be just a powertrip for them (which goes hand by hand, but not always)

      Same. Even when I didn’t know anything about this stuff my intuition was “let people do what makes them happy/what doctors recommend.” I can’t imagine sustaining hate - not just ignorance, which is easily sustained by doing nothing, but active hate - for a group unless that group is actively trying to harm you in some way (like fascists).

      There’s also the misconception that hard hat guys are the biggest chuds on the planet when really, the frothing at the mouth bigots who clap at Federal Law enforcement killing people don’t fucking work.

      Like, let’s be fucking real for a second, the people driving policy, these chuds do not work. ie the 4chan/Fuentes types, the Trump types, the Cucker Tarlson types, the Neocon libs…these are not the ‘the real ie white working class’

        The “real working class” overwhelmingly does not vote or votes Democrat. Republican median income is like $40k higher than Democrat income and $60k higher than non-voter income
