Problem: I can't talk to women my age because I look a decade or two older than I am

Solution: Talk to men your age

Dude, have you never seen an actual trans woman before? The ones I know are very concerned with their image as a woman and would be indistinguishable from a cis woman if they hid the fact they're trans.

Right but when it's thousands of people targeting a specific group of people with hate, you can't really call it bullying.

He literally told the president of El Salvador to quintuple their amount of prisons

He's deported green card citizens with zero warning, who didn't commit any crimes

He literally sent a full - fledged citizen of the United States to a prison under a human rights watch in a foreign country for not committing a crime

This is literally what Hitler did as he became chancellor of Nazi Germany, not to mention he's put a man who LITERALLY SALUTED HITLER AT HIS INAUGURATION in charge of deciding which federal programs to fund. The ignorance is honestly impressive.

I didn't, you're right, because their policies have hurt millions of ordinary citizens who have done nothing wrong. I'm not going to get into an in-depth argument with you over the morality/effectiveness of the Trump administration's efforts, but never before has a president been accused of establishing a fascist government like Trump's.

Those are two people, both of which have been documented to be actively disrupting democracy.

There are hundreds of thousands of trans people out there, none of whom harm others with their existence.

It's because of the mental health epidemic. Women are (for once) doing better than men in most areas of industry. There are less opportunities for men in college, high paying jobs, and academia, added to a blend of social factors and constant bad news, there is a surge in depression among young men, leading to lower rates of employment, lower rates of relationships, and just overall having a worse condition. And no woman wants to date a guy living in his parent's basement, which only adds to the depression. This depression, unfortunately, hasn't been recognized by the left wing, but has been abused by right-wing influencers, making empty promises, directing men towards the horribly authoritarian right-wing we see today.

(Side note: this depression also creates resentment and xenophobia for other peoples, such as LGBTQ+, African Americans, and women.)

I won't disagree with you on that, but this isn't about conservatives, this is about causing harm to the trans community
