In a contentious and misleading post on social media, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, launched an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Vance falsely accused Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being transgender, causing widespread condemnation and backlash from human rights advocates.

That’s right, conservatives want a candidate for the most powerful position on earth to worry about hypothetical nonsensical situations where men will go through years of medical and psychological treatments just to punch women in the face.

Tbf I wouldn’t mind going through years of medical and psychological treatments if it meant I was allowed to punch whoever I wanted to in the face. Not for sports or for transgender reasons, just for fun. Turn me into a weapon please.

Just try it the other way. Random face punching today, years of medical and psychological treatment later!

Why would any man go through chemical castration to punch a woman in the face when he can just become a conservative politician?

No, they want us to fight over this culture war bullshit so we don’t pay attention to what they’re doing. Namely, robbing us blind via tax cuts and the dismantling of social safety nets.
