I as a Canadian just don’t get the appeal. He’s not handsome by any stretch so there’s no ascetic attraction.

He’s not nearly as wealthy as he claims he is so it can’t be admiration for his success.

He’s got zero charisma so it can’t be his charm.

He’s as dumb as a pile of rocks so it can’t be they admire his intelligence.

He’s got the athletic prowess of a half dead goldfish and the skin tone of one so it can’t be his physical ability.

I honestly just can’t fathom the appeal.

A big part of it that few are willing to look at is the that it is a reaction to the rapid, forceeful acceptance of transgender issues in our society and i totally get it. Im not willing to support fascism though just cause i want things to change… im also not willing to argue about this with anyone cause people on both sides of this issue are as closed minded as it gets.

Oh! How terrible for you! How can you possibly manage to live your life now that you’re aware of other people’s hardships? This is totally unfair for you!

It’s less about trans people existing, and more about catering our society around a tiny subsection of people taking drugs to modify their appearance.

It’s controversial to say men have penises these days because people are immediately jumping down our throat saying that’s not the case.

What part of our society is catering to them? The part where we decide it’s wrong to attack them because they are transgender? The part where we think it’s okay for them to have the same rights as everyone else? Please tell.

Why is it any time there’s the smallest opposition to anything trans it immediately swings to the extreme?

I never mentioned anything about denying their safety or talking about limiting rights.

Zero specifics, just platitudes, very cool. Classic right wing 😎
I’m on the left, but okay.
