It's been happening for years now. Whenever a transgender person makes the news, Conservative commentators take to their keyboards and televisions to mock them. But why? What is it about transgender people that warrant this type of response from the Right? In this article, we will explore some of the reasons behind this phenomenon and try to understand what is driving Conservatives to attack transgender people so viciously.
One of those Conservatives is Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson posted some blatant bullshit on Twitter. Honestly, I am an Intellectual Person and I don't see Peterson's tweet as serving any beneficial purpose. It appears that Jordan Peterson has regressed in development, as he has regained this desire to be antagonistic and stir the pot. Peterson tweeted “Remember when Pride was a sin and Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician”. Yes, Pride is a sin, to Christians in its original context. Although, people have a right to live in whatever religious ways they see fit within the North American rule of law. People can also be atheists if they choose. An Individual’s Religion does not determine the rule of law, nor does it dictate universal humanity. Honestly, Peterson can speak his mind, but it is sad, sad that an Intellectual has been so influenced so strongly by his political perspective and his belief system that it undermines his Intellect. Of Course, there will be a Dichotomy between Liberals and Conservatives, but never before have we seen so much within our lives become politicized. These Social Concerns have never before been such a divider of Society on a Sociopolitical basis.
Someone who feels as though their Gender Identity is not in line with their Anatomical Sex is not a Political Concern. Eventually LGTBQ rights become a Political Concern because of Conservative Politicians in North America. Although, not all Conservative Politicians, a fair amount of these Politicians demonize the LGTBQ Community as a means too assimilate with their Audience. The way that Society is today, just acknowledging the existence of transgender individuals is framed as "wokeism" and dismissed entirely.
One of the first things to understand is that, for many Conservatives, transgender people are a challenge to their worldview. In a world where gender is seen as binary and immutable, transgender people throw a wrench into the works. For these individuals, the very existence of transgender people is an affront to their way of thinking and they will do anything to try and discredit them. This is North America.
Another reason that Conservatives mock transgender people is out of a misplaced sense of protectiveness. They see transgender people as being vulnerable and in need of protection from the outside world. In their minds, if they can make fun of transgender people then maybe others will be less likely to hurt them.
Finally, there is also a significant amount of bigotry and hatred directed toward transgender people from the Conservative movement. This is often driven by a fear of change and a desire to maintain the status quo. Transgender people are seen as a threat to this way of life and so they must be ridiculed and mocked in order to keep them down.
It's important to remember that not all Conservatives are like this. There are many who do not subscribe to the hateful views of the radical Social Conservatives. But sadly, in recent years, these voices have been drowned out by the louder and more aggressive members of their party. People like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are only interested in making a mockery out of Liberals for publicity's sake. There have been certain instances where Shapiro and Peterson were unfairly heckled at. Like when Peterson was Lecturing or when Shapiro was speaking out in public. People should be able to freely speak for themselves, but For the most part, they are only interested in speaking for an audience, which in all fairness is what Liberals too as well.
I mean in the United States it is a lot worse.
As a Disclaimer do not treat Transgender or any Individual of the LGTBQ or Conservative Community any differently proceeding the reading of this article. There may be ideals within either community that are challenging to grasp, but that does not mean we may lose our civility and temperament because people may think they are right. Attacking a Trans person because this narrative that Trans people are potential pedophiles who want to go into the opposing sex's bathroom to spy on children is wrong. Trans people have been greatly injured by these narratives. The same goes for violating Conservative Free Speech on University Campuses.
