No, trans kids are not awesome, they are victims of a cult and a symptom of widespread homophobia.

If homophobia weren't so rampant and deeply-rooted, then transgender ideology never would've been invented.

Trans kids are awesome, incredible, beautiful, and wonderful. Bigotry is not. Republicans need to stop obsessing over other people’s gender identity bc frankly it’s very weird and they’re doing a lot of harm to children who are just trying to be themselves.

Girls are awesome, incredible, beautiful, and wonderful. Stealing from them is not. People like this woman need to stop pretending that people who want to defend girls are actually obsessing over other people’s gender identity bc frankly it’s very disingenuous and they’re doing a lot of harm to girls.

There is so much gaslighting going on from these "Progressives" (and I myself am liberal on most issues) regarding "trans girls" in girls' sports. So much plain old misogyny.

Over and over these "Progressives" claim that "trans kids" are being banned from sports, when, in fact, "trans kids" can play any sport that's available, as long as it's with their own sex.

This is what I'd like to ask AOC :

What other group of athletes besides "trans girls" get to choose who they compete against?

What other group of athletes besides actual girls are expected to give up their medals and scholarships in order not to hurt other athletes' feelings?

Sorry, I can't stand AOC. From the time she jumped into that online Mermaids funder, she's been told about the dangers of puberty blockers (How do I know she knows? Because I left a long message with her office myself) Yet AOC blithely spouts rot like this knowing that she is complicit in sending gay kids off to a lifetime of being very expensive medical experiments under the guise of "transitioning."

I hope that she gets exposed and is forced back to working some shit job and perhaps learning some humility, because she is doing a lot of harm to kids.

I don't live in America anymore so it's hard for me to form any opinion on a politician because the info that ends up in front of me is highly editorialized and curated by the time it gets to me, but in my head I keep score, and so far AOC has been getting a lot of ticks in the negative column.

I am highly suspicious of any adult who uses these innocent kids to further his/her own political future. These trans kids are not humans to her, they are just tools. if 10 years from now, a new breed of kids popped up with a very powerful backing behind them, let's call them potato kids, and somehow the existence of potato kids harmed the trans kids, she wouldn't give a fuck, she'd make a "potato kids are awesome!" tweet and throw the trans kids to the wolves.

She irritates me to no end. She's a wannabe Pelosi larping as a Sanders. (don't jump on me, I'm painting with broad strokes here).

And how about detrans kids, AOC? Are they awesome? How about the confused kids and teens being pushed through this system by people like you, so you can score some woke points? What will you say in five to ten years, when these kids are grown up with underdeveloped bodies, and realize they've made a terrible mistake? Will you support them then, you disingenuous fucking asshat?

AOC comes off as somebody who has no principles other than money and power. Most politicians are like that. They get a large proportion of their income from lobbyists and bribery. They don’t bother read bills that they vote for or sign, because they don’t get paid to do that. They get paid to do what lobbyists and interests groups tell them to do. All that money they get from the taxpayers are nothing more than bonuses. This is regardless of which political party a politician belongs to, with very few exceptions. This is why I hate politicians. This is why I encourage people to build strong tightly-knit communities and buy locally. This is why we should be less dependent on government and stop treating it like a parent - a society that treats the government like a parent is a degenerate society.

How do you think society should treat the government?

There's a word for that; snollygoster.

Trans kids are a reminder that the world will never be safe for children; there will always be people out to exploit and destroy them for whatever disgusting agenda and we need to stop deluding ourselves into thinking its safe to pretend kids are adults at age 12.

AOC, Expert on Everything -- in her own mind. Also, there is no bandwagon she won't jump on.

And don't forget her cult following. There's a subreddit called MurderedByAOC or something like that where they just put every single one of her twitter replies where she disagrees with the person she's replying to. They treat her word like gospel and decree that anyone she says something bad about has been thoroughly proven wrong and is a terrible person

Wow - that is a cult. What is up with the US and cult followings of politicians on both sides of the aisle?

I'm trying to think of another pol who had one - maybe Nader at certain times?

I really admire Rep. AOC but these kinds of comments are frustrating...so many well-meaning "cis hets" don't think further than the progressive line TWAW and think being trans is the same as being gay and it does so much harm to gay people, especially gay kids...

AOC jumped in on an online fundraiser for the UK organization MERMAIDS, which was the main organization pushing the transitioning of kids.

I think that says a lot about AOC, none of it positive - either she's super stupid, super corrupt or just plain doesn't do her homework.

In any case, AOC made a point to support the transitioning of kids IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, which implies that she knows what she's doing to disproportionately gay children's mental and physical health and just doesn't care. For her, it's all about the virtue-signaling and the $$$ from Big Gender.

She's an idiot and it's scary how Reddit literally worships her. Part of me thinks it HAS to be a creepy fetish thing, right? Like, would she be so revered by a community mostly made up of liberal nerdy guys if she was a man? I don't think so.

An AOC, are intersex kids awesome...? Or are they freaks of nature that need to be given "sex reassignment" ASAP? I guess time will tell to see what America do about that issue, but I won't hold my breath. If anything I feel like the medical abuse will just get worse.

Right on the money. r/actuallesbians has had 1k-upvotes posts before where it was just a picture of AOC and title "I wish she would step on me" and comments full of "I wish she would step on me / she could do anything to me" etc. It is so fucking creepy.

    You just need to look at what she's advocating for to realise she's an idiot. She wants the minimum wage to be $24 USD an hour. The highest in the world, the entire world, is currently $12.6 USD. How clueless is she?
