        If you think that’s because he hates trans people, then you misunderstand Trump.

        He doesn’t give a shit one way or the other, but his supporters hate trans people, and he loves power.

          He’s made many many comments against trans people. It’s not just his supporters; he himself called transgender a mental illness.

            Body dysmorphia is a mental illness, and the treatment is therapy and possibly gender reassignment.

            The problem comes from the fact that some people hear “mental illness” and think “dangerous” and “boy I’d love to genocide them,” not “what are the treatment options?”

      See, it’s hard for me to see Trump as anything but a hateful bigot considering that’s all he surrounds himself with.

      Edit: I have family like this and I don’t let them anywhere near me.

          Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were one of them. I’ve heard people like you enjoy x and truth social. You should check it out, maybe move over there permanently. Reddit might also be more your format, should look into that too.
