    Something I heard Hasan say the other day. Being trans isn’t a mental illness, being anti-trans is a mental illness. Because once you actually start looking into gender and realise its a social construct, you subconsciously start transvestigating people all around you and assuming they are trans (for actions/thoughts/feelings that are normal for heteros)

    Horribly paraphrased of course

    Ah yes projecting. Imagine this, but swap “transing” for Christianity and infant baptism and declaring “hey, look at our new Christian boy! We’ve modified his genitals to our liking”. Conservatives wouldn’t even bat an eye.

      I think that’s the heart of it though. On some psychological level rightwingers understand how fundamentally their entire culture is one of grooming and child abuse, I can’t count the number of harrowing tales I have heard from other trans people. So like when they project their fears onto the unknown it has to be even more psychotic than what they are already doing to their own kids. Just to clarify they think that the child physical, sexual, and emotional abuse their culture propagates is a good thing, and its bad when other people abuse their own kids for different ends. The evil usnt the abuse, its that tou arent abusing them right. The idea that someone might like not abuse a child is beyond their imagination.

      Poorly.

      I know there’s a lot going on here but we shouldn’t ignore the fact somebody decided to try drawing a comic for the first time to express that opinion.

      The liberals don’t want you to know this, but a baby’s gender can be manipulated by precise kegel exercises as it travels through the birth canal

      That’s why I’m all fricked up, my mom got to her third childbirth and thought “you know what let’s just do all the weird shit as that dude slides out and see what happens”

    Getting mad at a thing that has literally never happened. This has to be fake, which one of yall made this? And yet the psychotic abuse that my friends who grew up in conservative households is all too real. Ngl I am so glad my queer as grew up with super lib parents.

      Thats how moral panics work see; Irish Garroting panic, santanic panic

      Both events had newspapers completely fabricating things that didnt happen and presenting them as factual in order to stoke fear/anger.

    I really love hearing the “some people want to raise a trans kid” talking point because it’s the most nonsense idea I’ve ever heard. I’ve never heard someone actually say they want a trans kid or even talk weirdly to suggest they might. I think bigots got confused with white people adopting minorities and got carried away

      You know what I really want for my child, them to live a life where half the country either actively or passively tries to kill them while the other half acts like that’s an acceptable difference of opinion.

    I’m thinking that the “toss” suffix is either a dogwhistle, or will become one soon. At least this guy can’t draw like Stonetoss can.

        Oh, he absolutely can, but he dials it back. That’s why I say he can draw. He knows enough to make his characters appealing, it’s calculated. I think they call that “hiding their power level.” That’s why he also draws non-nazi stuff sometimes, to reel people in and have them read his other stuff. Stonetoss is much, much more vile than he lets on with his comics (and they are pretty damn vile.)
