I'd written previously about internalized-trans-phobia and noted that one reason why this happens is that "trans-folk have been ... misunderstood and the object of derision".  The following is unfortunately a good example of this.

Out of the mouths of senators come words that never trouble a second grader who loves their friends.!!

ex-Senator.  He lost his bid for re-election.  Which is almost impossible.  He also brought a dead baby home for the kids to see.  He is a sicko.

and their second grader has to come home and deal with Transgender Children, who are talking about Transgender Issues in second grade.

My God, to have had someone to talk to way back then, I wish!!!! Remember the american motto, if it's different kill it - the script for many old sci fi movies. And if some one is not like us, shun and ridicule and if that doesn't work..... well you know

Wait till that second grader looks up their surname on Google.  Ewwwwwwww.  "Daddy?  What's 'frothy' mean?"

Yes, but this idiot is running for President. He and his ilk, do influence the party platform. I think he really wants to bed guys, but just can't face his own truth-he'd rather take it out on the rest of us.
