- From my experience it's because sooooo many Republicans seem to think being LGBTQ as a whole is inherently sexual. It's too far to the right on the Overton window to go against all los jibbities so they go after the most vulnerable part of los jibbities- the trans community.2024 November 13, u/Totatus, “Don't understand why trump is going after trans folk.”, in r/Defeat_Project_2025 (Reddit post):
- I was 1000% straight until right around 35 and suddenly I was... bi? Idk what to call it, but my attraction to guys went WAY down (I still like skinny, kinda fem guys) and attraction to women went way up (especially masc), plus anything in between. It was a weird shift to go from being the token straight in the group to just another one of los jibbities.2025 May 31, u/Impatient_Orca, “What did you try once and immediately realize it wasn’t for you?”, in r/AskReddit (Reddit post):
