The Right's Gender Scam: How They're Conning America with Fake Outrage

A grotesque theater of bathroom panic and pronoun hysteria, designed to keep you scared, distracted, and obedient—while they ignore the real problems.

How does it feel to have elected Trump with your ideological insanity?

It’s tragic that the masses are manipulated by fear over logic, but that’s human nature. I’ll always stand for empathy, compassion, and truth. My hope is that people like you will eventually do the same.

How self-serving and indulgent. How self-glorifying.

Parents don't want a swinging dick in the girls' lockerroom. They don't like seeing large men beat women in sports. It is just that simple, rhetorical standing on table screaming and waving your hands won't obscure that. Yes, the Republicans are employing a lot of hysteria. Who has enabled them to do so? Also, the whole LGBT movement has been focused on trans excesses, instead of the real problems of Gays. HIV vaccine testing has been halted. No reporting in LGBT press. The government bungled in their response to mpox, do you even know? Further, women claiming to be men and showing up at meet ups without having previously revealing themselve to be trans. Clear violation of a basic ethical standard of "Informed consent." You and others are bringing disaster not only on Gays and Lesbians but also trans.

We clearly see things differently, and that’s okay. I strive to follow Christ’s teachings of love, compassion, and respect for everyone. I also believe in the American principle of freedom — the idea that all people should have the right to live authentically and without judgment. You may not agree, but that’s the path I choose to walk.

P.S. There are sources of information available to you beyond Trump rallies and News Max.

This is the false opposite and a misdirection to shift the conversation to another topic. It is also self-congratulatory.
