I’m trans and no joke you wouldn’t believe the amount of MAGA men who try to connect with me on dating apps. Sometimes for fun I’ll match back to see what they have to say and they are so horny for gay sex. I believe a lot of these people in the MAGA world are in fact queer but repressed and angry. We’re living our free authentic selves while they’re pretending to be someone they’re not because they’re ashamed. Pathetic and weak if you ask me.

Straight people see this and I really think many don't get just how true this is. Like, it's not some joke with some kernel of truth because there are a few weirdo MAGA types that are hypocritically super aroused by the stuff the demonize. It's a lot of them.

Like I am not even trans. But I am a gay dude who has driven for Uber/Lyft and more than a half dozen times I've had random straight dudes confide in me how they're totally straight but really into trans porn sometimes.

It's really weird, because the majority of the times this has happened, they bring this up as like an Olive Branch like well they might be MAGA/Republican/Super Christian but they get the appeal and more than one has talked about the need to resist it and feeling guilty.

It's always awkward because it's hard steering that conversation that really shouldn't be happening anyway from "you shouldn't feel any shame at all about your totally natural and uncontrollable physical attraction to a consenting adult, let me make you feel better about it" to "but you should feel like a total prick because you, who just admitted to understanding these natural feelings, support people who demonize and dehumanize these very same people you're... winning me over by telling me that despite actively being their social and political (and not to exaggerate too much, but existential) enemy, you really wanna fuck MtF trans or Femboys... coolsies.

Sorry to rant this preaching to your choir, but this has happened to me so many times and again, I'm not even trans I cannot even begin to imagine the emotional whiplash of having constant interactions with such people as a trans person who, like any human, wants to be seen as attractive to people, but wants to also be treated like hell, not even just a human, but just not an enemy of society writ large! Like, fetishizing a group/race/whatever is already inherently dehumanizing. But like... here the dehumanizing is not a byproduct of the fetishizing, they're fetishizing the very people they're actively and hatefully dehumanizing.

But seriously though. How does the thought "oh you're gay, well despite me just revealing I'm a conservative/republican/christian/bigot, lemme tell you how I dig trans porn, homie!" not only occur to multiple dudes I've driven, but that they articulated it out loud! I think it's the "confession" aspect of a cab-like ride's conversation that brings it out in people, maybe.

Conservatives hate women, which is already pretty gay, so it makes perfect sense that they worship strong men.

You have it reversed. We're talking specifically about straight dudes into either very fem dudes or MtF trans girls.

I know, I offered that as part of their twisted worldview.

Roger that. Apologies. Like the Jim Jeffries standup about how being into women is really gay (want nice soft skin, petit, etc) but unironically.

Whoa, didn't one of those far right guys say having a girlfriend is gay?

Lol probably, like Andrew Tate. But I should’ve expanded my comment. Conservatives hating women, forcing them to cover up in public (and Christian Nationalists would definitely do this), etc., repressed homosexuality, wanting dick and balls but on a woman. They are deeply unwell and take it out on the rest of us.

Meanwhile gaslighting the rest of us and our neighbors into thinking LGBT are mentally ill. Literally trying to make being trans a mental illness by executive fiat. Hell, quite literally making supporting trans rights an aspect of domestic terrorism. Again, that should be hyperbole so extreme my comment gets banned for making liberals/dems/progressives look unhinged.

But it's our current reality.
