Gosh can we focus on the important stuff? No one should care about the shoes he’s wearing, he’s a politician not a fashion model Focus on the crooked politician stuff
Its about the hypocrisy and his insecurities. This is drag, this is gender affirming for him. He has toxic ideals about masculinity and has to change his appearance to conform to the social construct of the gender he wants to appear as. Same reason trump did it.
It is ok when he does it, but not when a trans man does it? When a cis man ages and has lower levels of testosterone and needs monthly injections that is ok. When a trans man wants the same injections for the same reason, lower natural levels of testosterone, then there is an issue. When a cis man is overweight and does not like the appearance of fat on his chest, and wears tight undershirts to hide breasts, that is ok. But when a trans man wears a binder for similar reasons there is an issue. When a cis woman gets breast augmentation because of whatever reason, unfortunately many times due to a toxic ideal of femininity and beauty standards that society pushes on them (not saying that breast augmentation is a bad thing, it may empower some women and make them feel more confident, and that is tangible and valid) then it is ok for that cis woman to get gender affirming care. But when a trans woman wants the same surgey, for the same reasons, to empower themselves and make them feel more confident in the gender constructs and ideals of feminity of our society, then there is an issue and they have to jump through hoops to get the exact same surgery.
This isn’t about the shoes. It is about the hypocrisy of the right. It is about the cognitive dissonance and the fact that the anti-trans agenda is not about “rEaSOn” or “nATurAL oRdER” or whatever, it is about hurting people they deem different while enjoying the comforts they deny to others because of whatever antiquated religious ideas they were indoctrinated into.
