    …how does a trans person get this way? Seems like a huge lack of self-awareness or some kind of disingenuous grift.

      She was already a shit person. Don’t forget she very publicly transitioned to distract from her murdering someone.

    Aren’t there conervative teachers too? Based on their anwser, just going off what the image tells me, there are two possibilities:

    Yes -> Being trans is what the children want, after all they are presented with both options. Not presenting the option denies them happiness.

    No -> Being ‘woke’ is what comes naturally with education. There must have been something like the first ‘woke’ teacher and all the other educated people where like ‘Yes, he’s right.’. Conservatives should just educate themselves.

    The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome. Everyone should know that’s not true by now. I’m convinced the people posting memes like this know they’re full of shit and are just dog whistling that they disapprove of anyone different than them, a la homophobes talking about how gayness is “unnatural” when that’s observably false in actual nature.

      An interesting observation from another source: since being straight and white is now the worst thing ever and we, especially the males, are now responsible for absolutely everything that goes wrong anywhere in the universe and everyone hates us for that, any kid unfortunate enough to find themselves in that predicament is going to identify as just about anything else in order to retain some degree of popularity.

        No but it has a bearing on it. If a trans woman is a woman that was born in a male body, and said trans woman finds herself falling for another woman (trans or otherwise), then surely she is a lesbian, as opposed to if she identified with her body which would make for a heterosexual relationship.

        Or maybe we just throw out the whole idea of orientation altogether, (a) because stuff like the above is just too confusing, especially when extrapolated from this simple case into more complex identities and attractions, and (b) nobody cares anyway now that all orientations are considered equal.
