Do I get a pair of traveling pants at the voting booth?

That's an awkward way for Jesse to out themselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Libertarian_Party_presidential_tickets

The Libertarian Party had a female VP nominee in 1972. Later, Jo Jorgensen was the VP nominee in 1996 and then the Presidential nominee in 2020. I can only imagine that the LP's voters are pretty far down the transexuality path by now.

EDIT: And that's just the US. I can but imagine the situation in other countries. Think of the UK, what with all those Conservative voters for Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.

That’s so weird because I’ve voted for more than a few US presidents, and yet I’m still a woman.

Correlation not Causation, Jesse

His mom is right, he's an embarrassment.

The fascinating thing about this is that, in context... it's still fucking weird, but for different reasons.

He's technically joking about how it makes you transition, saying it's a claim he heard from "scientists." So he wants to call men women as a misogynistic insult, but also to poke fun at the concept of scientific study. It's wrong to distinguish between gender and sex as part of evidence-based medicine and basic conscientiousness. It's cool and good if you're doing it to be a dick, though. He's got to police gender roles, but also insist that they are completely immutable based on your sex.

What a creepy weirdo.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
