It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Ah yes projecting. Imagine this, but swap "transing" for Christianity and infant baptism and declaring "hey, look at our new Christian boy! We've modified his genitals to our liking". Conservatives wouldn't even bat an eye.
I think that's the heart of it though. On some psychological level rightwingers understand how fundamentally their entire culture is one of grooming and child abuse, I can't count the number of harrowing tales I have heard from other trans people. So like when they project their fears onto the unknown it has to be even more psychotic than what they are already doing to their own kids. Just to clarify they think that the child physical, sexual, and emotional abuse their culture propagates is a good thing, and its bad when other people abuse their own kids for different ends. The evil usnt the abuse, its that tou arent abusing them right. The idea that someone might like not abuse a child is beyond their imagination.
I'm just starting to become aware of a lot of the abuse in my past too. Things that I used to think were normal that are not ok.
