      I knew a trans woman who did almost fifteen years ago, she was part of the local trans support group. I haven’t kept in touch, and someone warned me not to talk politics with her the first time I met her, so I don’t really know specifics on her views. Even back then the leopards kept eating her face in the most tragic ways. I’m sure she was more of a fiscal conservative, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she drank the Trump flavor aid.

        I feel like fiscal conservatives are even worse. Human rights are not worth looking into because you care about money? Eat all the shit.

          Depends which one is a more fundamental belief. If you are willing to vote for socially liberal agenda despite being a (horribly misguided) fiscal conservative then that’s a disagreement and something we can work through. If you are willing to vote for a fiscal conservative agenda (republicans) despite being a social liberal, yeah, you clearly have terrible and selfish priorities.

        Average “support group” enjoyer I guess. That’s wild those were a thing back then though, it must be the Facebook audience correlation.

      Blaire white, for one. The worst part is she’s insanely oblivious or maliciously evil. She said she knew she was trans at age 5 while simultaneously denying that minors should have gender affirming care. She used a transphobic joke about bulges in pants despite the obvious self-own. There’s lots more but I’m not gonna dig into that shit pile. Here’s one receipt.
