President Trump's Transphobia Explained!
The reason for his hatred of diabetics remains elusive
The author Robert M. Pirsig’s observation that “we always condemn most in others…that which we most fear in ourselves.” is true, according to a recent study at the University of Western North Carolina at Pigeon Forge headed by Dr. Nathan Placebo.
This seems very much to be the case with President Donald G. Trump, Dr. Placebo notes after considering documentation that, between playing golf and reviewing with his handlers the damage the Heritage Foundation wants him to do to America the following day, the president likes to relax by riding his Harley out to an unnamed supporter’s potato farm in Pahokee, on the shore of Lake Okeechobee, and doing some hoeing in female attire, including a padded brassiere.
“That the president has signed an executive order forbidding transsexuals from serving in the armed forces may spring from his own apparently decades-long an inexorable fascination with crossdressing,” suggests Dr. Placebo, “and from his shame about that fascination.
“My guess is that his autocratic father was conventionally masculine in a way that didn’t encourage exploration.”
A Legend in His Own Minefield is in the process of verifying reports that in the 1970s, the president worked his way through college in part as a waitress called Gypsi in a South Philadelphia drag bar, Madam George’s, whose waitresses were encouraged to lip-sych to popular hit records of the time when the regular lip-sych artistes called in sick with lady troubles or had fallen afoul of homicidal homophobes. “Gypsi’s” favorite number was the Village People’s “YMCA”.
Ernest D—, a frequent patron of Madam George’s at the time, remembers, “Gypsi wasn’t very good at lip-synching, and was a terrible dancer — she always looked as though trying to milk a very large cow with perpendicular teats — but she had shapely legs and a darling little mouth that begged to be kissed.”
Some skeptics point out that Mr. Trump loathes diabetics almost as much as transsexuals, as witness his having revoked Joseph R. Biden’s $35/month cap on the price of insulin, which might otherwise cost as much as $450 per month. An exhaustive online search turned up no trace of evidence that the president is now, or has ever been, diabetic.
Faced with trying to make hoe into a gerund, typically accomplished by just adding ing to the verb root (darting, farting, outsmarting), many Substack writers would turn tail and hide in the woods. You have come to expect better from me, and once again I have delivered it, with a smile.
Donald Trump's Gay Fascist Kleptocracy
Don’t look now, but Donald Trump surrounds himself whenever possible with ultra-macho characters, with Hulk Hogan, for God’s sake, with bikers and cops and tattoo-covered “patriots”.
If you haven’t noticed, President Trump is actually as gay as a parade.
Thanks for the chuckle on a gray day!
The problem is that the transphobia is not unique to Trump and is shared by millions of Trumpistas. That trait, homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and scientific-fact-phobia (we need a better term) are among the traits that help define "conservative" these days. Alas, there are many others...
By the way (and this is a minority view, I'm sure): I must note that if we look at the Greek root, "phobia" really means "fear of," more than "aversion to." The better suffix is "misia," derived from the Greek word for "hatred." If your witty idea above is valid, Trump's transmisia would thus suggest self-loathing -- and for once, he and I would agree on something!
I like the sublimated self-hate angle. You could have a hit on your hands, kid. But what you've got going here is the other trans... 'transvestite'. That is simply the desire to cross-dress, and has little in common with 'transsexual'. In fact 'transexual' isn't much in use these days either, for its inaccuracy. (And don't even begin with the entirely other 'drag queen'.) Happy to help!
