      If you never mention it to them, raise them in the church, home school them, make sure they marry some other homeschooler, keep them working in the family grift, you can raise them so they never hear about things like Trans and Gay and Liberal and Socialist, and they’ll create a better Christian America in the future.

      The thing is that the very reason he’s afraid is because the conservative take makes no sense and it’s just hatred for hatred’s sake – he can’t explain it to his kids without making it sound that way, because that’s exactly what it is!

      “Sometimes God makes people who have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain.”

      “So why are the tv people against what God did?”

      “Well those people they don’t have to be like that.”

      “But if they have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain, how is that their fault?”

      “Goddamnit political ads you kids are too young to be exposed to this!!”

        "Sometimes God makes people who have a boy’s body and a girl’s brain."

        “God makes people exactly as they should be, but sometimes people are tricked by sinners, start thinking their body was made wrong, like wanting to be a girl if they’re a boy, and try to change it.”

        “So why are the tv people against what God did?”

        "Really? Wow! I remember when Sarah tricked me into getting the sticker and not m&ms for treasure box today; I didn’t like it. 😟 "

        FTFY: Not that I don’t agree with you or get your point, but I think you’re giving a lot of conservatives way too much credit in thinking outside their box. Any part of the LGBTQ+ community is a choice to most of them.

          I guess if you were right he would have no problem that viewpoint – most of these people don’t actually know why they’re anti-trans they just know they’re “supposed” to and can’t answer a six year old’s questions about why
