    I was like “Blaire White?” after reading the title and before I removed the NSFW filter. Once I clicked, I got the reminder that there’s another token self-hating trans woman simping for conservatives. To think that this woman was seen as a major icon for the trans community when she first came out is so upsetting.

      I remember libs saying how her being a Republican would help get the right to accept trans people more, but the hogs just included her in their transphobic memes and booed her at CPAC.

      You’d think that shit would’ve been a wakeup call for Caitlyn, that she’d realize trying to appeal to chuds and be “one of the good ones” is fruitless when they outright despise her. Not even behind closed doors, but publicly. Instead she’s been doubling down on the pandering.

      She’s a deadbeat parent who killed a person with reckless driving. She’s always been a terrible person. One tactic of terrible people in America is to vocally start saying right wing stuff even if they don’t care. Because it’s a way to get interviews and book deals. Also works as deflection. Elon Musk also does it. He did that one tweet about becoming a Republican like 45 minutes after the story dropped about how he offered a pony to a masseuse for a BJ.

    Easter is “the most Holy of Holy days”

    Come on Caitlyn, we all know that Christians make a much bigger deal about Christmas than Easter.

      Transmeds be like: “Enbies are taking over the trans community. Nobody even acknowledges binary trans people anymore! Our struggles are being ignored!”

      Meanwhile, every conversation my NB ass gets into after I tell someone that I’m trans goes like this:

      Stranger: “MtF or FtM?”

      Me: “Neither.”

      Stranger: “What? How is that possible?”

          “I’m non-binary”

          “How are you non-binary if you just said your pronouns are she/her? And you’re not on hormones? And you also say you’re agender? How does any of that make sense? You’re making stuff up.”

          “Nope, I’m still non-binary nerd”

            I am baffled by the fact that there are people who think they can understand your own internal sense of identity better than you, the one who experiences it.

            It’s even more baffling that there are trans people stuck in this mindset. Of all people, they should have the most self-awareness that invalidating one’s feelings around something like gender identity isn’t very pleasant or sensible.

              Yeah I’m still at a stage where people, even other trans people sometimes, think I’m just making up stuff or making fun of transness. I go by she/her but I wear mostly men’s clothes and don’t talk in a feminine voice. I say I’m agender but I’m not really androgynous. I’m just me and I know who I am, and that’s good enough for me.

    I hate how the christian right just kind of sit there and raise a stink whenever society doesn’t prostrate itself before them. I also hate that i’m expected to just hand them that sort of clout.

      It’s that he died and came back to life to live forever in heaven is the big deal, since the idea is you can also do that if you act like Jesus and also admit he did it first because he’s God.

          It’s debated outside of Christianity, but I’m not aware of any Christian denominations that don’t regard Jesus as divine. Almost every Christian on Earth believes Jesus is one-third of God, but also being God himself because the Trinity is odd like that. Jews don’t view Jesus as divine, since he didn’t bring about the end times. Muslims view Jesus as a prophet on the level of Moses who performed miracles, but they don’t see him as the same entity as God.

          There are a very small minority of Christians who don’t believe in the Trinity. Which means they don’t believe there are three separate, co-equal aspects of the same God. Rather they believe Jesus and God are two distinct entities.
