Imagine being afraid of talking with your kids about that topic. What a bitch.

The thing is that the very reason he's afraid is because the conservative take makes no sense and it's just hatred for hatred's sake -- he can't explain it to his kids without making it sound that way, because that's exactly what it is!

"Sometimes God makes people who have a boy's body and a girl's brain."

"So why are the tv people against what God did?"

"Well those people they don't have to be like that."

"But if they have a boy's body and a girl's brain, how is that their fault?"

"Goddamnit political ads you kids are too young to be exposed to this!!"

Wow what a fucking asshole

Can't have your kids learning about counterculture on the off chance they self-actualize instead of becoming your legacy.

"Sometimes God makes people who have a boy's body and a girl's brain."

"God makes people exactly as they should be, but sometimes people are tricked by sinners, start thinking their body was made wrong, like wanting to be a girl if they're a boy, and try to change it."

"So why are the tv people against what God did?"

"Really? Wow! I remember when Sarah tricked me into getting the sticker and not m&ms for treasure box today; I didn't like it. 😟 "

FTFY: Not that I don't agree with you or get your point, but I think you're giving a lot of conservatives way too much credit in thinking outside their box. Any part of the LGBTQ+ community is a choice to most of them.

I guess if you were right he would have no problem that viewpoint -- most of these people don't actually know why they're anti-trans they just know they're "supposed" to and can't answer a six year old's questions about why

Are these the same people with a Grindr account?

No. These are the men who had their data stolen and calendar data deleted by Antifa...

It took lots of effort to get rid of them, but I see almost no ads anymore. Not on the internet, not YouTube on my phone or in my TV shows or when I’m listening to music. I’m practically allergic to them. Now when I catch an ad that made it past me, it gets a physical reaction from me from just how FUCKING LOUD everything is all the time. And not just volume, but audio compression, colors, came...

"Allergic to ads"

Yup. Sometimes I'll turn off my filters if something breaks and then get startled by an ad popping up...

It is, from a certain point of view

What you feared under communism has come true under capitalism.

When much of one's political ideology is based off of manufactured outrage over the mere existence of a people group making up .01% of the population, they deserve all this stupid kind of bullshit that follows.

I read that and was thinking he almost " got it" but he didn't.
