        They can’t get trans people out of their minds, they’re obsessed. It’s very weird, and pretty creepy how much time and energy they spend thinking about trans people’s lives.

          Imagine meeting someone and one of the 1st things that come to your mind is “I wonder how their genitals look like”

          Bunch of weirdos.

          They spend more time thinking about trans people than actual trans people do. They can’t get enough.

    Oh it’s that easy? No hormone therapy, no surgeries, just vote once. Glad to see Fox news being pro-trans

    Does that work the other way around too? Does that mean all the women voting for Trump are turning into men? What are the scientists saying?

    All this shit does is prove how fucking stupid Republican voters are. These clowns wouldn’t say this shit if they knew it wouldn’t work. And the dumber the shit is. The more it reveals the stupidity.

    thinks

    You call that “thinking”? There is no “thinking”. Doesn’t matter what these shitheads pump out, it’s a mental sewage circlejerk that changes every two minutes, reality is meaningless, trying to keep track and “correcting” them is truly a soul-sucking fool’s errand, meant to keep the “correctors” always reacting, never on the initiative.

    If your cast vote is influenced at all by a candidate’s physical attributes (such as gender), you’re doing it wrong.

    “Why do we need XYZ candidate in?” “Well, because he looks like meeee!”

        The category of “women” includes MTG, thatcher, Alice Weidel and giorgia melloni, so obviously yes.

            I don’t feel hypocritical though. I’m a woman who sometimes votes for women and sometimes doesn’t, depending on their merit.

              That’s very much fine by me, I’m a man who votes for women or men depending on what they promise (and how much I believe they’ll keep their promise). I specifically said “vote women because they’re women”.

                  Like, just go Google and you’ll see discussions where people urge others that they should vote for a woman? For example, during the last elections in my country there was a campaign “circle a woman” (circling is giving your preference vote towards a singular candidate instead of just voting for a party, not sure if there’s some equivalent where you live).

        Might be getting downvotes because it’s a straw man argument. It presupposes that women are voting for women because of their gender. I myself don’t know if that’s true. And “women” is such a large voting bloc that looking at median behaviors seems unproductive.

        I think some women are looking for representatives who will defend their right to live and not bleed out or be injured for life by voting for candidates that support access to reproductive care, along with other issues that matter to them. Women on the left, like VP Harris, put forward full-throated support for that. But maybe I’m naive?

          It presupposes that women are voting for women because of their gender.

          Nah, it asks if it’s also wrong when a woman votes for a woman because she’s a woman.

          I was just trying to point out the hypocrisy of people online when it comes to this statement:

          If your cast vote is influenced at all by a candidate’s physical attributes (such as gender)

          Which I believe I succeeded in. Usually, when people present such a statement, there’s the implicit [only when it comes to men] - either by the one who posted the statement or those who read the statement (or both). I find it a weird combo of funny+sad when people try to justify to themselves that the same thing is fine if it involves anyone but men, but it’s wrong when it involves men.

            Oh you GOT us alright. /s

            I find it funny/sad when people die on a hill that makes them look awful under the guise of being some new level of perfect human that always acts logically and is aware of and immune to any potential bias. It’s everyone else who is wrong, always, because you are the only truly objective individual.

            Maybe sell your MRA bullshit elsewhere?

              Oh, don’t cry me here that you feel called out because you’re a misandrist. Fellas like you are as disgusting as the ones you claim to hate. Like, you went full 360 to be as awful, you just have different reasons.

              • Alt-right people being misogynistic - big bad.
              • “Left” people being misandristic - all peachy.

              And yeah, until you stop feeling high and mighty that you’re doing the right thing by being exactly as awful, just against a different group of people, I’ll be calling you out and I’ll be forcing you to feel called out because that’s what hypocrites deserve.

              No idea what MRA means, so not sure what I’m “selling” and I don’t particularly care about some weird labels you assign people so that you can feel better.
