I don’t understand trans people because I have never met one because they are the smallest group of people they could find to harass/hate. Which is insanity to me. I can’t overstate how unafraid I am for my children of a dude in a dress reading them “three billy goats gruff “Why the fuck make up monsters when churches exist!?
Because you create fear of those monsters that don't exist by blowing up the image of those monsters to divert the monsters that exist within your own belief system.
"Trans people are the problem with pedophilia." You do that to those you have indoctrinated, young people with no mind of their own, and people who statistically fall into a category of superstition and believing in figments of their imagination, Big Foot, Aliens, God and you fuel that fire with hate with things like, "the atheists want our voices to go unheard so we should kill your friendly woke white woman that supports your friendly neighborhood poorly mistreated and culturally shit on Blackman/woman. You fuel that with hate until the minority becomes the target in your political and religious agenda to spread, "love in the name of Jesus Christ, or whatever religion is popular." Because if the enemy is justified by your power and money and beliefs then the mass takes to ignoring the issues within your own system of power and money.
So you tell your party or system, "be afraid because if we don't target them first. They will target you, your guns, your wealth, your god, everything you believe. Everything you have to abuse the power you have now." You do it because it keeps you in power.
Fuck cons and fuck republicans and if you are reading this and going, "uh why I never...." Then you are a port of the problem. As yourself when is the last time someone who supported the color of the rainbow truly targeted you or your children. The answer is that person is more likely to be killed by you or your affiliates and so the answer is probably never. Now as yourself the last time someone who supports the confederate flag ran over a group of protestors. Fuck you too if you believe trans people, black people, or anyone that doesn't believe in your saving God and political party is the problem because a woman should have a right to an abortion and you think your voice is going unheard when there is no law that says if you keep your kid you are against the law. Fuck you if you just support in killing as many people as possible but your answer is, "we should support our own first." But you will complain about your taxes that supports a fuck ton of military power in the country but you don't want to use it to protect others but are fine with fueling the weapons we have to protect our own and more.
Fuck you if you if any of this pisses you off because you just can't face the fact that your politics and God don't love. They hate. Fuck you and the white ass elephant you road in on and refuse to acknowledge in the room.
I believe in aliens
Time and time again the people that go hard against gay rights get caught in homosexual relationships. In this case there's quite a few "masculine" men who are attracted to transsexuals moreso in the case of the religious right who see the "temptation" of a transexual person as an act of the devil. They ignore the whole it's not temptation unless you're actually attracted to them part but they aren't exactly the smartest kids in class either.
I had a conversation with my partner once while working as a medic on an ambulance. He told me being gay was a choice and that they were sinners going to hell. All I could answer with was “so your telling me that every day you have to tell yourself ‘no. I choose not a to suck a dick. Not today.’ Because personally I’ve never had to choose” He became so angry that I had zero doubt he has thought about sucking dick.
