My interest is piqued. Please expound.

We're slightly more intelligent chimps and bonobos. They don't have notions like nuclear families or sexual shame. In fact, those are pretty recent concepts for humans.

They’re just concerned over the children… or something.

Hilarious! Get it? Cuz of the trans? And Fauci with the Covid?! Just hilarious
I also find it noteworthy that most of the right wingers in the media who were freaking out over the sanctity of women’s sports have been the most outspoken against Griner being freed. They belittle her importance and mock Biden for getting her him.
But sure, women’s sports is like totally important to these guys…

Russians mock America... oh no I'm devastated. I mean not as devastated as the Russian army has been in the invasion of Ukraine, but still I'm moderately devastated because I care about the opinions of Russian propogandists.

Did you watch the clip? Candace Owens is mocking America and belittling Griner. She even called the Biden administration, “stupid” for trading for Griner. This occurs Just months after she was “all about protecting women’s sports.” Russian propaganda just piggybacks off what conservative propagandists like Owens and Carlson spew daily.
It’s sad to me that Americans fall for their **** so often. It was always obvious that the majority over that one trans swimmer and trans athletes in general was never actually about protecting women’s sports. It was always about stirring up the base and attacking the LGBT community. Exactly like the recent attacks on “porn in libraries.” It’s not actually about protecting children. It’s about keeping the base angry and keeping the eyeballs on the teevee while belittling the LGBT community.
Yep, I watched it.
This is another video that, I think, explains it all very well and breaks it down into simple language. Especially coming from a cis man.

He definitely did one of the better jobs of explaining it that I've seen.
I especially liked when he asked her the question about wearing wigs, high heels, outwardly expressing emotion including to cry in public, if she associated that with a man or a woman. She got a bit sidetracked because she seemed to actually be hurt that as a woman she was seen as having those characteristics and she saw that as weak. When he got her back to it and revealed that those were considered masculine traits in the 1600s I think that for her and many listening they could finally understand what it means that gender is a social construct.
Like I don't have to be the one to mow the lawn or take the bags of garbage out of the house and put the bins on the curb, or replace the alternator in our car. But I sure as **** know who I think the neighbors expect to see doing those things.
I'm by no means trans, but I've never been particularly concerned with being perceived as especially manly. I do things that a lot of people would think that a straight married man wouldn't do. I do the vast majority of the cooking. I almost exclusively do the dishes. I do more than 90% of the grocery shopping. But I also change the brakes on our cars. I do home repairs.
Maybe 20 years from now home cooking will be viewed as more masculine than feminine, because that is actually how gender norms work. They change.
Trans people are trying to change their gender role. That isn't an attempt to overthrow social order. That is them trying their best to engage the world on their terms in a way that brings them the most comfort.
