The way I read Justine’s xcretion there is Justine believes both Taylor Swift and Michelle Obama have _liberal pussies_ between their legs. Intesting concept. ---

Nope, they literally think they both have penises. See: [Transvestigation](https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=Transvestigation&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8). ---

Seems to me like these “tranvestigators” can always find some combination of traits to “prove” someone is trans. ---

And there’s so much to unpack there. That it’s an insult to be male? I guess my husband’s uncle used to think the worst insult you could give a woman was to suggest that she was insufficiently feminine, and this is a bizarre extrapolation of that perspective. ---

Can’t argue with that. Guess I’ll have to start learning to scratch my crotch and fart in groups. ---

You don’t have to fart in groups. One long fart will do the trick. ---

Yeah, anybody who actually thinks the Republicans aren’t engaged in an all-out assault on transgender rights hasn’t read the one and a half thousand—and then some—posts about it in this thread. ---

Seems to me that the fact that there are still people who think the Republicans aren’t engaged in an active pogrom against transgender people indicates that this thread is very useful indeed. Or would be, if such people actually read it.
