The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

The term "hate" is overloaded, and you know that.
Trump "hates" gay people getting married, being outwardly gay, or anything else his super religious supporters want
Trump doesn't "hate" gay people when he can ignore their gayness and use them for his purposes.
He's just kicked trans people out of the military.
If you think that's because he hates trans people, then you misunderstand Trump.
He doesn't give a shit one way or the other, but his supporters hate trans people, and he loves power.
Yeah, agreed. I said that farther up. He'll hate as long as it's useful to him.
He’s made many many comments against trans people. It’s not just his supporters; he himself called transgender a mental illness.
Body dysmorphia is a mental illness, and the treatment is therapy and possibly gender reassignment.
The problem comes from the fact that some people hear "mental illness" and think "dangerous" and "boy I'd love to genocide them," not "what are the treatment options?"
See, it's hard for me to see Trump as anything but a hateful bigot considering that's all he surrounds himself with.
Edit: I have family like this and I don't let them anywhere near me.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were one of them. I've heard people like you enjoy x and truth social. You should check it out, maybe move over there permanently. Reddit might also be more your format, should look into that too.
