The truth is too hard for them you see. In this day and age you have to work to verify sources, distinguish opinion pieces to factual ones. It’s easier for them to swallow the reality they are fed that better aligns with their shitty views then do that all that work to you know live in reality.
They need a distraction from them causing people to lose their entire retirements so more trans hate will be spewed from their mouths without any conscious
It goes to what I’ve been saying. Unless you’re in or socialize in the community, high odds you don’t know anyone trans. In addition, that extends to not knowing anyone who knows anyone who is trans.
Pinning people from this community to a board like they’re exotic, poisonous insects isn’t just cruel it’s intended as distraction. There’s no threat here. This isn’t a murder hornet invasion, COVID, or the stock market tanking. And yet.
Trans in headlines is working as intended every single time a guy like this gets news time to make ridiculous statements like this one. Every headline for these dipshits furthers their cause to distract from the real threat to all of our daily lives: the class war.
Note the timing of this article. Distraction. Ignore the stock market, remember trans?
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories, and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’. Yet in a way, horrible as all this was, it was unimportant. It concerned secondary issues – namely, the struggle for power between the Comintern and the Spanish left-wing parties, and the efforts of the Russian Government to prevent revolution in Spain. But the broad picture of the war which the Spanish Government presented to the world was not untruthful. The main issues were what it said they were. But as for the Fascists and their backers, how could they come even as near to the truth as that? How could they possibly mention their real aims? Their version of the war was pure fantasy, and in the circumstances it could not have been otherwise.

And if they were, what’s it to do with him?
Let me guess his source is the movie Ladyballers. (Ie the movie that was initially supposed to be be a documentary but the daily wire with their millions of dollars to spend in researching couldn't even find anything so they made it a fictional comedy)
Tommy Tuberville is a self hating closeted trans person.
