Is this clip really demonstrative of how Trump voters feel about the trans community?

She is correct that it was appalling of the Democrats to hand a moral and ethical victory to Trump that 80 to 95% of the country agrees with. I do not know why the Democratic elite has dug in on taking a flatly misogynist position. Even people who are defenders of trans rights, including some trans people themselves, believe this is the right thing to do.

What is odd is that the two biggest protectors of women’s sports in the executive office have been Nixon and Trump.


LOL damn that was some mental gymnastics

The NCAA announced that there were only 10 transgender athletes competing in women's sports. It's such an inconsequential issue as to boggle the mind why anyone would care. The point is not to help "real" women, it's to vice signal that they hate anyone who doesn't stuff themselves into a box that conforms to their narrow and ignorant worldview.


It's all Fox and MAGA messaging. Their voters are too uneducated and brainwashed to go and fact check. MAGA is one big hateful lie. The reason people become MAGA is it allows them to be racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hide all of it behind religion.
I voted for Trump and never watch Fox, don’t even know the channel. Instead of Fox, it’s more the influence of just common sense.

And you left out “Nazi” from your list of insults, no list is complete w/o that.

Also, I guess you didn’t get the memo that name-calling isn’t really effective anymore. Try to come with more than that.

She does have a rather handsome look about her, with her really large manly head, hands, strong prominent brow, and a very masculine jawline. Maybe she's recently been the subject of similar slurs, perhaps some of the MAGAs have accused her of being a trans woman.

Perhaps she's just having a triggering moment.

Still doesn't excuse her very bad behavior.


Right because we should be making fun of how women look.


No one is making fun of how she looks, just digging in the psychology of it all. Hey she ditched her femininity a long time ago. You have to be tough to have been the first female to graduate from the Citadel. I'm sure she's had more than one person compare her looks and demeanor to those of a man.

Growing your hair out and getting a boob job can't wipe away the kind of conditioning necessary to survive the Citadel and or to want to be the "first" at all. So maybe on some level she had/has doubts about her gender. But what was her choice back then? Those born into the wrong body, 30-40 years ago had not the freedom of young people today. The choice triggers her, she sucked it up so why can't they.

I've no doubt that being born into the body of the wrong gender is a real thing, all things exist on a spectrum after all. I remember watching Paris Is Burning as a young adult and feeling a great deal of sadness for some of the characters who talked about saving up money so that they could transition surgically. I mean some of the trans women were so delicate, graceful, feminine and beautiful that it was clear to me that they were more "woman" and feminine than I'd ever be. And because of this life was dangerous for them so much so that I'm almost certain Venus Butterfly didn't live long enough to get her surgery. Had she been born 40 years later she wouldn't have had to live on the fringes and prostitute herself in order to raise the funds to pay for gender reassignment surgery. For the Venus Butterflies of the world I am grateful that times changed.

So I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that she's feeling triggered. Maybe she was born into the wrong body herself and is angry that she didn't have the opportunity, freedom and acceptance that people born into the wrong body have today. Imagine if she didn't have something to prove she might have chosen an entirely different path than the Citadel. She could have, lived as a man, chosen the Citadel and still had the freedom to reveal her trans roots and run for office as the first Trans Congressman were she/he coming of age today. I mean I'm sure she gets brownies from the MAGA crowd which probably explains some of her behavior, but I can't help but think her stance also looks an awful lot I didn't get any breaks so why should they.


You know that’s not a real thing, right? There’s no such thing as a gendered soul.

Women’s sports didn’t require care and feeding until males decided to push their way into them. Once the gates had been breached, it required a response.

And for every transgender woman athlete, there is a significant blast radius that affects dozens of women.

Are you for real? Women’s sports required multiple lawsuits and federal legislation, which Republicans opposed at every turn.


Nixon signed Title 9 into effect.

As an independent, I think this is a great example why Democrats lost our support.

This guy just up there speaking down to a woman, like she was an idiot, because she wasn’t 100% in the know about a niche slur that impacts some percentage of a percentage of Americans. Shows how out of touch these Dems are.

As someone who has loved ones who are trans, I ask why instead of chiding her like a child, could he not have gone to her after the meeting, in private, to politely inform her that most transgender people prefer not to be called by that term? I’m sure she would apologize and rethink using the term in the future. But of course he needed to grandstand and get his clip for ‘TikTok’ while attacking this poor woman publicly all just to embarrass her.

My God. Someone with the deep levels of self-loathing and internalized misogyny that you clearly have has no business whatsoever theorizing about the mental state of others. Your post is unintentionally heartbreaking.

Okay, but you don’t get to speak for everyone. I’m a registered Democrat who voted for Harris, and I find the word profoundly offensive. Why? Because it is, in my view, a religious slur. I am not part of and do not believe in gender ideology, and I do not want to adopt its religious tenets, nor do I want to be referred to using the derogatory term that adherents use for non-believers. There are many terms that religious groups use to insult (and provoke violence against) outsiders. I am not going to repeat the most vile of them here, but consider how the term “infidel” is used by some religious groups. “Cisgender” is just another version of “infidel.”

And the point is that even if you disagree with me completely, as is your right, there are many people—many of whom did not and would never vote for Trump—who consider the term cisgender to be extremely and deeply offensive. So, why is it acceptable to keep using the term?


This + 1 million.
I'm a registered Republican who voted for Harris (couldn't stomach Trump, the man) even though I lean conservative and agree with the majority of GOP views on political and social views.

They'll never admit it but many Democrats lost their way and continue to not see just how far gone down the rabbit hole they went with the extreme Trans/LGBTQ gender ideology cult-like mentality. The result....Trump with the antithesis - just another extreme cult-like mentality to counter another.

I listened to clip. If the term she used is a slur -- OMG -- people really do need to use common sense and get tougher skin. Suck it up buttercup. Every word is a slur nowadays and every opinion is bigoted or racist. No wonder our society is where it is now.

Sure I voted for Harris but the way some Democrats continue down this rabbit hole I'll most assuredly vote red when it's someone other than Trump...he won't live forever...maybe just in the history books.


Ok we’ll just bring racial slurs back then shall we and you can tell Black people ‘suck it up buttercup’

T****y is freaking rude as hell and actually nothing to do with liberal policies on gender. It’s just rude and cruel and this lady is an awful awful person


It is absolutely rude and cruel. So is cis.

I won’t use either term.

Oh Pleez. Women have been labeled terf and Karen for far less and any pushback gets another slur of bigot and transphobe thrown on for good measure.

Well...you know what I was taught about bullies? Ignore them and they go away. The more you react the worse they act.

I was called lilipad by a bully way back in elementary school (my name was Lili). I got over it. But my feelings were hurt therefore lilipad is a slur?

I do like how you explained it -- rude. Sure it was rude...and to be honest I did find her repeating it again rather petty and am more upset about that - repeating it and acting like an immature adult like a child taunting "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah".

Connolly made it worse....I found it interesting that Comer's response to Connolly's inquiry about the slur breaking decorum rules was "I will be honest I'm not up to date on my politically correct LGBTQ terminology."

Even Comer was honestly unaware that this was a slur. Why is simply abbreviating a descriptive term/making it more "slang" considered a slur? Who makes that decision? Is there a dictionary somewhere of what is and what is not considered a slur. How does one even keep up with what is and is not a slur? I seriously want to know -- what is the politically correct LGBTQ terminology? Because I honestly don't see the abbreviated term as a slur.

Fun Fact: The slur in question was originally a term used by transgender people to refer to themselves.

It’s awful. However, to be honest, I don’t support the use of Government funds at issue (although they were not USAID funds). I do want trans people to have rights, but am not particularly interested in spending taxpayer funds to support that outside of the US. But there is no need to use anti-trans slurs to make that point.
