Drag queens are cool. Conservative women are gross. And that is what passes for journalism in 2025.

    In mainstream media, women like me are portrayed through a singular lens: Our conservative beliefs. As such, we are easy to hate, mock and scorn.

    Um, that’s how people should be judged, dumbass.

    JFC, this entire thing reads like something out of The Onion: “boo hoo, I contain multitudes, but I adhere to hateful bullshit, why don’t people tolerate meeeeee? What happened to acceptance and inclusivity?”

      Yes… it’s almost like people are hating, mocking and scorning your conservative beliefs and not the gender you were born into.

      If this is in stark contrast to what you grew up with, the problem might be your environment, not the people calling out the things you can change about yourself.

        It’s team sports mentality to the nth degree.
