In some circles, obsessing over youths’ genitalia is considered uncouth.
Everywhere else, it’s considered weird
Once again the people who can “always tell” misgender people, this time because they are women who are… Good at sports.
Isn’t that idea in and of itself a little sexist?
Exactly. It’s not enough to be Cisgender, you have to be feminine or masculine enough by obeying the gender roles assigned to you at birth.
“You were born under the sign of the Vagina, so you must be pretty, like baking, and bad at sports, otherwise you will be outcast.”
This is the effect they want. It’s more oppression. On top of trans people it’s women as well. Too good? Too buff? “Gotta be trans”
Gender policing is about enforcing rigid, misogynist gender roles.
At the rate they’re going they’re just going to declare that women’s sports are trans and then ban all women from them.
These girls don’t even look especially masculine! This was a hit job.
A Cruz campaign spokesperson responded by saying the photo “features a female athlete who spoke out against boys playing in girls’ sports after participating in a track meet where a biological male beat female athletes and impacted individual and team medal results” but didn’t address the campaign labeling the young women as “trans”boys.”
They aren’t even addressing the fact that the photo shows two girls, not one. So which one is this teenage girl who is such a horrible ally to trans people that you decided to demonize her in this ad and which is the one you just didn’t bother cropping out?
The man is a fucking ghoul.
If he’s going to spread baseless rumors about people, then he should be scrutinized too. Maybe attention should be drawn to the fact that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer. Or Ted Cruz was a notorious creep on campus. Or if we want a new one, how about… Ted Cruz likes jerking off to images of JD Vance fucking couches.
I heard a rumor that Ted Cruz pisses his pants on purpose because he likes the warm feeling between his legs.
Ted Cruz was Epstein’s favorite Congressman. They both just love kids.
Ted Cruz likes jerking off to images of JD Vance fucking couches.
While imagining himself as the couch?
God no, he isn’t gay, he just likes to watch.
Also, I wish people would stop saying JD Vance fucked a couch.
JD VANCE NEVER FUCKED A COUCH!
It was just hand stuff.
Yeah, we all know Lindsey Graham is the couch.
Do couches have gender?
They are feminine. They are comforting, soft, and every home is incomplete without one.
A bench, those are masculine. They serve their purpose and offer no real comfort unless you get the angle just right.
“Won’t someone think of the children!”
“So you’ll apologize to the teenage girls you attacked, misgendered, and whose likenesses you used without permission?”
My wife works with a lady who has a prominent mustache. She is cis, she just has facial hair like some women do and she doesn’t shave it off all the time because fuck that, she doesn’t have to.
I can’t imagine the shit she gets all the time.
Squids too have to tackle tentacles irrespective of the genders… Ones body ones own choice
It’s a witch hunt
EDIT: this comment was originally “literally a witch hunt” but I changed it because I was told it might be interpreted as saying trans people are witches which I obviously did not intend. This edit was not intended to make the user who accused me “look stupid” as they insinuate, but to improve the comment at their request.
Everyone knows what a witch hunt means. And almost everyone knows how to not feed the troll. It is insane that you succumbed to any idiot suggesting that “witch hunt” would demonize trans students. By the same coin, when Trump talked of his impeachment as “witch hunt”, he did not come out as a witch, did he? This is preposterous.
Trans students are witches now? That’s very insensitive of you.
EDIT: thanks for editing your post and to make me look stupid. Original post was “Literal witch hunt” so I was pointing out the improper use of the word “literal”. It’s clear that OP understood because he edited it out of his post and followed up saying he meant “figurative”.
Your edit to their edit just makes you look even more petty and whiny.
Fucking hell, just accept that they tried to correct their comment to clarify that they weren’t trying to villainize trans kids.
You can either take the stance that you helped them clarify their opinion to be better understood or you can be outraged. At first you were outraged at their “wrong speak”, after the edit you’re outraged that they edited their comment to make you look stupid.
Not eveeyone in this world gives a shit about you, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some people are just trying to have reasonable discourse here.
You seem to care. And yes, I am petty. Thank you for your attention.
That is not at all what I intended to say. I mean it is a witch hunt in the figurative sense.
If you have a suggestion on how I could rephrase my sentence to be more clear, I’d gladly change it.
Anyways the word “witch” has also been reclaimed by an alternative culture but that’s beside the point.
You’re replying to a troll, I wouldn’t bother
You’re replying to an edited comment and missing the context of the exchange
My original comment was “literally a witch hunt”, and after you replied I decided to edit it to say “it’s a witch hunt” to be more clear I’m not saying trans people are witches.
As said below I’d gladly change it if you provide a reasonable suggestion but please don’t accuse me of editing in bad faith because I’m literally doing it for you.
And yes all my comments have the edit symbol because I have the bad habit of posting the comment then editing it to write an extra paragraph in the seconds after it was posted lol.
I don’t think any reasonable person would assume you were saying trans people are witches. It’s called an analogy. I got the gist of what you were saying. Cruz is trying to imply that “Trans people are a scary boogeyman man that we need to label and ostracize via a public outing“. Yep this sorta sounds like a witch hunt to me too. 🤣
Ted Cruz will endanger your children for political points. He will assign a label to them and point his posse at them. He is a dangerous man, and the parents of those girls ought to press charges. Cruz is not unaware of the hateful mob he’s riled up in Texas, who would be eager to take action against any supposed trans children; this was an intentional effort to put the lives of Texan children in danger, full stop.
ah, republicanism. the party of delusional psychosis and unhinged political violence. yep. that tracks.
Cancun cruz here just got so thoroughly destroyed by his opponent in last debate. He’s still bleeding and desperately trying to do anything he can to change the narrative of him being a cowardly, broken loser. This is the “Mr. Potato Head is trans” distraction attempt…
These republicans 1000% have closed door conversations with each other where they speak the actual truth and say, quietly, “Can you imagine if we actually had to win elections on merit? We’d get so fucking obliterated!”
Sue him
2 cis teen
^I’m sorry^
