Well… if a conservative:

• supports gay marriage
• doesn’t believe in ROGD or the notion that people become transgender because of social contagion
• is okay with sex education that includes homosexuality
• supports transgender athletes
• supports transgender people using bathrooms according to their gender
• is okay with drag shows and doesn’t believe they’re automatically unsuitable for children
• doesn’t believe that people of color are inherently more violent/stupid/dangerous/filthy/etc
• supports schools in teaching even the unsightly parts of the country’s history
• supports immigration
• supports diversity and inclusion
• doesn’t believe that young people are lazy ungrateful brats
• doesn’t support patriarchy
• defends women’s rights to abortion
• believes that government should spend more money on helping homeless, drug addicts, disabled, orphans, etc

Is this person still a conservative?

Yeah, modern conservatives are ridiculous. Haven’t you heard?

How am I generalizing, beyond pointing out the defining cause behind the movement?

Oh, yeah, you should be hateful of intolerance. If you aren’t, you’re hurting those who are getting hatecrimed by conservatives

I should be what? A conservative? No, thank you, I live in reality and I’m not scared of made-up culture war bullshit

Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype

Adding to what all the others said, majority of those who cross the border on foot are asylum seekers, and even if they don’t have documents, they are still in the country legally until the court makes a decision on their asylum claim.

A “hallmark sign” of having gender dysphoria is persistent identification with or insistence on being the opposite sex for at least a period of six months. And “not everyone who is questioning their gender ends up being trans” is not a statement anyone would argue with.

And no, confusion does imply being wrong. I rarely if ever saw it used as a short-hand for “not having an answer”. It usually means either “fail to understand” (e.g. “I’m confused, is the birthday on the 5th or on the 15th?”) or “made a mistake” (e.g. “Oh, sorry, I confused you for a friend of mine”). The term you’re looking for is “questioning their gender” or “exploring their gender identity”.

Being transgender is a constant and persistent condition. Even for genderfluid people the “fluidity” needs to be repeatable. If a girl/woman suffering from cramps during her period thinks “I wish I was a boy/man so that I didn’t need to suffer through this every month”, she doesn’t become trans because of it.

And “gender confusion” isn’t a fair description. It’s basically saying “they are wrong about what they’re feeling”. And you’re not a telepath to know that

Then what’s your problem with the comic?
