The progressive conundrum: Is it ok to call her an idiot for supporting Ted Cruz, or is it not ok because she's a member of a protected minority group and we have to support her choices and decisions?

I never quite understand LGBT people who support politicians who are incredibly anti-LGBT. I have to assume they just haven't looked into their policies very much. Sadly many voters are very uninformed.

I find it rather surprising for a trans person to be against the rights for minorities. That would just bite back at some point, since they are minority aswell. Even less liked and accepted at that. Originally Posted by Pendra

I'll start calling him a her when he chops it off. He isn't the worlds first drag queen; I'm not impressed. Originally Posted by Naxere

Some people are ideologically opposed to whats best for them.

2016-03-04, 06:43 PM #12DeletedYeah, it certainly does not lack a certain irony, and she got called out for it a lot. Like, demanding rights for yourself but being a "traditionalist" when it comes to gay marriage and wanting to deny them their rights seems hypocritical. Originally Posted by Linadra
I mean, she's not against it (anymore) - but said something along the lines of "I am a tradionalist...man and woman...but if it's that important..."Last edited by mmocc02219cc8b; 2016-03-04 at 06:47 PM.

Still, I'd expect someone in her position to be a little more open minded. ^^ Originally Posted by Pendra

Why is this news? Probably a lot of transgender people support for each of the candidates.

Ted Cruz probably thinks she's an abomination that needs to be smited down by the wrath of god.

I think thats a little bit prejudice to assume just because she is transgender that they would automatically be in favour of more liberal views.

Bruce Jenner was a moron. Caitlyn Jenner is a moron. Different name, different face, same person, same Republican ideals.
