I Know Why Conservatives Get Their Toxic Brains Broken by the Transgender Community

It's because they're incapable of treating women with respect

Imagine treating women with the same respect and dignity that you would extend to any other person.

I know, it's a radical concept, right?

The problem is that conservatives have a really hard time with that. In fact, their instinct to disrespect women is one of their “deeply held personal beliefs.” They'll deny this, but it's true.

They want women to be subservient.

They want to strip women of the right to vote.

They've succeeded in stripping women of their right to bodily autonomy.

In short, they can't conceive of a world in which they don't treat women terribly.

I've seen it time and time again. Conservative men simply don't know how to behave themselves around women. They get all flustered and uncomfortable. If they aren't allowed to speak with some kind of inappropriate sexual innuendo, they don't know what to say.

This stems out of their ideological beliefs. They see women as baby factories. That leads them to start thinking about sex, then they start shifting their feet and smiling like a hyena. They make everyone uncomfortable, and when you call them out on it, they act like they're being unfairly targeted.

They're not.

When you listen to conservative media, there's all this talk about the “threats against masculinity.” That's nonsense of course, but conservatives have built their whole viewpoint on so many absurd concepts that it's resulted in a skewed perception of reality.

They'll defend what they see as their “right” to locker room humor until they’re blue in the face. They'll deny that their entire interaction with women is based on objectifying them. They don't see them as people, they see them as sex objects for their personal entertainment.

This is why the transgender community completely breaks their brains.

If you've spent your whole life convincing yourself that your self worth is derived from the absurd assumption that you're some kind of alpha male that needs to sexually harass every woman in your vicinity, it leads to a stunted emotional development.

I recently watched a video where a conservative refused to address Representative Sarah McBride as “Miss.” The complete lack of decorum that we see from the Republican party is something that doesn't get enough attention. Why is it so hard to simply address people by the names and titles they request?

I've seen the same thing when conservatives refuse to address women as “Dr.” The sad part about that is that even though I'm not a doctor, a conservative would probably call me that if I asked. This double standard is appalling. But part of that comes from the inherent conservative deference to masculinity.

I've seen Representative Sarah McBride give some speeches and I think she's an absolute treasure. She's an intelligent and attractive human being and she always speaks with compassion and generosity. I can say this without discomfort, because I've learned how to respect the basic humanity of women. I don't see them all as playthings, or objects of conquest. My interaction with women is not based on that.

When you come right down to it, the repressed sexuality you see in the American conservative male is really quite depressing. These are men who have so little awareness of what causes arousal, that they get all worked up at the sight of fabric.

You can tell from conservative propaganda that they've convinced themselves that the transgender community represents some sort of “threat.” That's absolutely ridiculous. Naturally, when conservatives try to express themselves, they never say what they really mean. They've learned to avoid that because all their ideas are so reprehensible, so they put them in terms of “thinking about the community.”

They're so easy to mess with.

I'll say something like, “So you're against the idea of men in high heels?”

Conservatives say, “Absolutely!”

So I reply, “So men are no longer allowed to wear cowboy boots? As for me, I prefer to live in a nation that allows men to choose if they can wear cowboy boots.”

Conservatives go, “What? Wait? Huh? No!”

Cowboy boots are absolutely high heels for men. Let's just get that straight.

I think what we're dealing with here is an entire generation of sexually repressed men who were confused about the time they got aroused when Bugs Bunny dressed as a woman.

“Is this funny? Is this tickling in my stomach laughter? What's going on? We've got to stop this!” they say. “I would spare my own son from experiencing this confusion.”

Why is it so hard to hit the pause button and recognize that our arousal is provoked by mannerisms and fashion choices? We're animals! We're designed to become aroused. That's how the species is preserved. Conservatives should be able to understand this, they are the ones who keep talking about birth rate!

The sad part is that conservatives are indoctrinated with self-loathing without even realizing it. I saw a social media meme recently that made me laugh out loud. Some conservative was lamenting that modern action stars are no longer “real men” like “what we had in the 80s.”

Then they showed a picture. Every single one of those men had a shaved chest and they were covered in oil, and their muscles bulged out in every conceivable direction.

80s action stars had curves, a trim good bikini line, plenty of oil, and hair than hung down to their shoulders. Naturally conservatives are confused, they're subjected to so many contradictory messages it would be impossible to keep anything straight.

I've been around human beings that were born male, but who had enough fashion sense to dress themselves up in stunning ensembles. Why is it so difficult to say, “You look great!”

They do look great. I wish I looked that good!

If a person dresses and speaks and moves in a way that makes you like them, what kind of sadistic social conditioning leads you to believe you must hate yourself? Why do you think you should be rude? Why do you think you should respond with violence?

That's not “preserving the community,” that's an example of sexual confusion and self-loathing.

You don't have to hate yourself if you get turned on by the way a man is dressed or the way he does his hair. We can all look at the statue of David and appreciate the symmetry of the male form, right? That doesn't make us want to go and pluck out our eyes.

We go to films with handsome male actors because we like the way they look, right? What's the big deal?

If you see a human being who was born male, but who now wears high heels, long hair, and stunning pencil skirts, that's just an expression of freedom. Good for them for looking so nice!

It's only a problem if you've conditioned yourself to believe anyone who dresses like that is your sexual object. The solution to this isn't to tell other people how to dress. The solution is to start treating every human being with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Conservatives are ticking time bombs. They work themselves up into justifications of unprovoked hostility. If you're looking for a threat to the safety of your community, look no further than anti-transgender bias.

Seriously conservatives, the problem isn't them, it's you.
