Freedom 250 : Nothing Says White Trash and Toxic Masculinity Like a Fighting Octagon on Your Front Lawn

By Toxic Masculinity

In a world where transgender people are scapegoats for nearly everything, you can not blame this on us.

If there is one thing I will say about the LGBTQIA+ community, it is that we do have taste. Granted, not all the same taste, but enough class to hold respect for the house of the people as to not turn it into a man cave for hateful old cis-het white men past their prime to cheer on fighting between younger people in an attempt to continue to live out their Peter Pan fantasies and platform this nonsensical behavior as patriotism.

I am disgusted.

Not only by the blatant stupidity, but also by the overt gaudiness of this administration and all who uphold it.

You have no taste.

You have no style.

You have no class.

And yet after whatever the fuck this Freedom 250 debacle that is about to commence this weekend, these very same tasteless, classless individuals will later attempt to revert to saying that transgender people, like myself, are deranged.

Well, excuse the fuck out of me.

Personally, I, as a gay transgender man, would never construct an octagon on the front lawn of a home and/or a government facility, nor would many of my fellow transgender citizens.

If you’re seeking indications of derangement, take a look at someone’s front lawn and how it’s maintained. It provides a great deal of insight into their mental state and critical thinking capacity.

Enjoy your 34-time convicted felon-sponsored event, conservatives.

Ignorance must be bliss, I suppose.
