That lines up with my theory that a lot of Republicans are repressed homosexuals. Trans porn is probably the most 'homosexual adjacent' porn they are brave enough to watch.
I dislike this, as it asserts that it's gay for a man to be attracted to a trans woman. And fellas....it's not gay to wanna fuck a woman.
Rather the chuds are treating trans women the same way they treat cis women: as sex objects to be exploited, not human as beings deserving of rights.
While they might openly refer to trans women as "men in dresses", they still fundamentally and unconsciously treat them not unlike any other women. Just as deviant women, less deserving of rights.
Source: Am transgender. I am treated like a woman, I experience misogyny like one.
But when someone hostile (or sometimes even the occasional well meaning but ignorant liberal), finds out I'm trans, they notably don't treat me like a man, or even a deviant man. They still treat me like all of the above, but worse, and more objectifying, with added transphobia.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to label trans women as anything other than women.
I just try to make sense of the Republican mindset. Please believe me when I say that I don't share it.
All good! Just wanted to clarify where I feel it comes from
Not only repressed homosexuals, but they view ALL sex stuff as a choice. It's beyond their comprehension that people can't help what they're sexually attracted to. They have gay thoughts, suppress them, and then conclude that all other gay people are the same as them but with less self-control and therefor evil people.
Whatever happened to that "are traps gay?" guy?
