When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.
This article is infuriating, she’s still a conservative after everything she experienced, after realizing conservatives have no principles other than power, and that she was a disposable token to be spent when convenient. And her big conclusion is that conservatives overreaching is leading to their downfall, and not the lack of principles or abject hatred of anyone who isnt cis, het, white, and male.
I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.
“I worked toward hurting others. But hurting me? That’s where I draw the line.”
Pretty much the TERF archetype.
Hypocritical bigots are still bigots first and foremost.
And hypocritical second and secondmost

I always liked Quisling as a term. It means the exact same thing, but is the name of one particular monster who gleefully betrayed his own country to the Nazis, and then ran the country for them.
“Now”
lol. Lmao even. Conservatives were always against the whole gang, Aunt Tam apparently didn’t realize.
This should be on leopard ate my face
There’s no such thing as “woke mania.” There’s being aware of the historic systemic racism, and the absurd backlash by the Right when that systemic racism & bigotry is called out.
Childhood gender transitions are very rare, very individualized, heavily monitored and regulated, and ultimately none of your business.
There are no “unlawful DEI mandates.” That’s just the Rights’ fear-mongering when it comes to fixing the systemic racism & bigotry mentioned before.
There is no “excess of critical race theory.” That’s just some elective education focused on understanding the systemic racism & bigotry mentioned before.
There are less than 0.01% of athletes who are transgender, and it is also none of your business. It has no effect on your life.
There are less than 0.001% of prisoners who are transgender, and it is also none of your business. It has no effect on your life.
Your stance is clearly rooted in hate and fear. There is no “reason or fairness” in what you are saying. Your loyalty is not to truth, it’s based on selfishness and cowardice. Parroting right-wing lies and fear tactics. There’s no integrity in your words.
Being a lesbian doesn’t mean you can’t also be a racist and/or bigot. It just also means you’re a hypocrite too.
It’s disheartening that she still doesn’t realize that the transphobia and misogyny she partakes in are rooted in the same falsehoods currently being used to strip her of her rights.
But, there’s no such thing as an intelligent conservative.
I can think of a hundred issues more pressing to the American public than the existence of same-sex marriage: inflation, the cost of healthcare, national security, the war in Gaza — the list goes on.
And yet:

This is a dangerous game right-wing culture warriors are playing.
You would know, jackass.
This is what we call a log cabin republican. Enjoy the leopards sweetie!
