New Rules from the Right: No Trans Person Should Ever Be Allowed Access to Medical Care

Matt Walsh, whose ridiculous piece of faux intellectual anti-trans propaganda is making the bigots piss themselves with glee, posted this on Twitter:

Just in case you thought the bigots were being truthful when they kept squealing about the children, and how parents were abusing the children by helping them transition. ("Transition" for a kid under 18 means letting them wear the clothes they prefer, have the haircut they prefer, and be called by the name they prefer. That's it. That's all it is.)

Yeah, that was a lie, which I know we all knew. The thin edge of the wedge. They want every trans person either dead or locked up or miserable. That's their goal. Why? Well, bigotry and fear. 

See, if people can change categories -- stop being female, stop being (their notion of) black, stop being poor, stop being an immigrant -- well, how will they know who to despise and who to suck up to? Whose boots should they lick, and who can they stomp on and exploit? 

It's why they put so much energy into trying to keep black people powerless, not just from 1900-1950, but now. It's why they worked so hard --  in the early years of the 20th century and now -- to keep women from getting educated, getting good jobs, gaining bodily autonomy. It's why they spent the 1960s through the 1990s shrieking about gay men trying to rape children and destroy the American family and piling up wealth at the expense of decent, hardworking Americans. (Ironically, of course, it's strait cis men who do all those things. But as we know, the truth is not something conservatives are even vaguely interested in..)

Their world consists of categories, and those categories are binary: those whose boots they must lick, and those who they can gleefully abuse.

Hierarchy is their security blanket. Without it, they are lost and terrified.

I posted this on FB:


And my kid responded (I am clipping out his name):


We did not start getting therapy for him until he was in high school. He did not start on hormonal therapy until he was 21. He got top surgery only a few months ago, at the age of 23. The bigots would tell you he should not have been allowed to do any of that. Their terror and hatred should be more important than what he knows, what his therapist knows, and what his doctors know about him.

That's the world they want -- other adults must to conform to their narrow and willfully ignorant worldview because otherwise this imaginary world they had built up around their inferior and broken selves might not hold together, and they might have to face the world as it exists, unprotected by the lies they have put so much energy into believing.

It's only been in the past decade or so that these bigots have begun to let their true natures show. They could not take having Obama become president -- see, he got out of his place, he left the category of "inferior black man" which is one of their principle lies. They could not take it when most of the nation refused to lick the boots of Trump -- another category, superior rich white man. And they have absolutely lost their rag at having Biden and Harris defeat Trump. 

They would love to be attacking black people and gay people and Lesbians, but even they realize how that might make them look like they belong down in the underclass -- the poor, trashy white people that they despise as much they do any black or trans or immigrant person. So they have seized upon trans people, seeing them as a "safe" target. They can pretend they only care about the children.

Except now and then, when they accidentally spew out the truth.

But that's okay, because we always knew they were liars, not to mention great heaps of rotting shit.

And here's a bit of comfort: two-thirds of Americans disagree with them. So fuck their bigoted, cowardly, whiny little asses.
