This is like saying you can't make fun of Kristi Noem because she's a woman. If you mock her for being a woman you're a piece of shit, if you mock her for all of the horrible things she does and says you're fine. Her sex and gender have nothing to do with her being an awful stain on humanity (and dogkind).

It's like saying you can't make fun of JD Vance for being a couch fucker. Oh wait, you can.

Sorry(I stole this gif)

[-] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

No, you see. What youre doing here is making light of the sexual assault of that finely crafted Italian couch. Sexual assault against seating happens every day, and its no laughing matter.

For anyone reading this, is you or anyone you know has a couch or chair that has suffered a sexual assault by a parent or other family member, please know that you are not alone. Please call 555-26824, and speak to one of our SAS(Seating assault specialists) volunteers today.

I have stolen this gif now too.

and yet when that southpark episode of her aired people were celebrating it very openly and calling me a fascist enabler for telling people that being a woman is not one of her faults, there are plenty of actual faults to choose from.

that they always use "can not do it" is kind of telling that they dont understand anything at all. or often they say "are not allowed to"

It is like they are saying i cant hit because of the law, instead of not wanting to hurt someone

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

The thing is that I tend to believe you can in fact joke about anything, including being transgender.

What they usually fail to get is that being a raging transphobic asshole and covering it up saying "it's a joke" is a very different thing.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

The basic problem they run into is that jokes are supposed to be funny, and conservatives aren't funny

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

Okay, I grew up in Oklahoma, so I think I can explain what's happening here.

To start with, there has been a conservative faction that's outlined seven key areas of control they need to capture to turn America into a theocracy. They came up with the plan before I was born, and it's cut from the same cloth as Project 2025.

One of those areas is education, and they've done a fantastic job of butchering the education system in large swathes of America, leading to what you've described. Where I grew up, education wasn't about thinking, it was about memorizing facts so you could pass tests. Everything got boiled down to a yes/no, and questions were met with "because I said so" at best. At worst, you can get sent to the principal's office for asking too many questions because it's "disruptive".

As an example, in elementary school, I asked what happened if I tried to subtract a big number from a small number. The teacher scoffed and told me that you can't have less than zero, which caused the class to make fun of me for asking a stupid question.

So yeah, they probably don't actually understand why they're not supposed to hit people, they just know they can't because the authority figure says no.

[-] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

Yeah, she did a lot for shinning a light on the struggles of trans people. She did fucking nothing for the stereotype of women drivers...

Are we allowed a measure of schadenfreude at the trans person that joined the anti trans party being mocked by the transphobes they tried to court with hate for a different "other"?

Because that's the part I like.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Reminds me of the "Jew for Hitler" folk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

Ffs turns out there were two similar groups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Vanguard

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 4 points 6 months ago

It's so insane to me that she exists.

Literally conservatives calling trans folks sexual predators and then she turns around and goes, "I know every single one but me!"

Then again, black folk be like this too.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 months ago

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that shitty people are distributed through the population. There are shitty people in every single subgroup.

And an annoyingly high number of them are far more famous that I like.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

They literally dont see the difference. Making fun of Catelyn's shitty behavior and crimes and making fun of trans women in general is one and the same to them. They think that actions necessarily stem, fundamentally, from the "kinds" of people they are. Everyone is a characticture, a stereotype.

"You're gay? Well you're a leftie, socialist, gun-hating, pedophile who speaks effeminately, dresses flamboyantly, and does drag" They wouldnt even know how to handle a gay man that wears carhartt and camo, has a big bushy beard, votes Republican and owns a gun store, becuase such a thing is self-contradictory to them. How can this masculine beast of a guy be attracted to other men and want to have sex with them? It doesn't compute.

It's why gay men, black men, women and others that join Republican groups, people that don't fit the mold, find themselves often targetted with hatred and derision by their own "allies". It's not just that they are hateful bigots (and they are), but that they genuinely do not actually believe that they can be sincere in their shared beliefs because they aren't the right kind of people.

They are literally deciding Charlie Kirk's assassin must have been a leftie based entirely on the possibility that he might have had a sexual relationship with a trans roommate. Yes, a big part of that conclusion is grasping at anything to escape culpability and scape goat the left as usual, but they do also fully beleive that that is damning evidence. Becuase right wingers never have anything but herero-normative sex lives. Dont tell Grindr.

thhey defend caitlyns jenners transphobia.

[-] sober_monk@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Buckle up, buckaroo!

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 10 points 6 months ago

Honest question from an ally. She was Bruce and going by masculine verbage then. Is it still misgendering them by referring to them as such when talking about the murder?

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 35 points 6 months ago

If Bob Smith invented a new device and then became a doctor, would you say Dr. Bob Smith invented the device or just Bob Smith invented it? It is correct to use current terms to refer to what a person did. People don't care what a person used to be called. They just want to know who invented the device.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 15 points 6 months ago

This makes it make sense. Thanks homie.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Now kiss. All the homies give forehead kisses

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 6 months ago

Forehead‽ Na give the homies legit smooches! (Iffy's skit on smarty-pants)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

ooo, i'm gonna have to binge that. it feels QI-ish.

[-] waldfee@feddit.org 15 points 6 months ago

Yes, her name-change applies retroactively, so when you talk about something that she has done, you may say that she did that

This reminds me of the phrase I hate “this coming from the TOLERANT left?!”

I never said I tolerated bullshit! I just believe gay and trans people are human beings. Other than that I’m very easily irritated.

[-] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Always remember the paradox of tolerance. To paraphrase:

Never tolerate intolerance.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 months ago

its always a conservative saying tolerant left. the right has never tolerated anything left to them, why should they get the same thing.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 6 months ago

She could be an office chair, I'll still make fun of her shitty ass.
