I’m a bit perplexed at the amount of men I’ve matched with who are hardcore, Trump-voting Republicans. These guys are fully open to the idea of being in a relationship (not just a hookup) with a trans person, but staunchly support Trump. How does that logic work?

    So I’m a straight cis guy, extreme lefty, my guess would be one of two things that may actually have a lot of intersection:

    1. they hate what they would term “real women” and think they would get along better with someone born with the same genitals as them. Sorry if that’s really crass and offensive but I have met an astonishing number of men that fall into my same sexuality that have spouted logic not dissimilar to that ex “if my Bruce had tits and would let me fuck him id leave my wife”.
    2. they are closeted gay men raised super religious and think a trans woman would be a way to ‘beat the system’ by appearing to be in a heterosexual relationship for their social groups

    It probably sounds ridiculous and crazy and I’m sure there’s more violent bigots making lists too so be safe.

    I hope this doesn’t come across poorly just relaying the insanity of many conservative/religious men I’ve met

      Catholics and Mormons are famously able to “beat the system” by both the poophole loophole, and soaking. So both of those stand to reason for me.

        This might be the craziest shit I’ve ever heard of. Thinking God will see you raw dogging anal or just fucking without moving and be like “damn I didn’t explicitly say, they got me.”

      It didn’t come across as offensive, it was good insight and makes sense
