General Discussion

The RW, especially the evangelical contingent, rejects the idea that someone can be born in a body that corresponds to one biological sex and transition to a different gender.

To them, a trans woman is just a man in a dress, and a trans man is a woman cosplaying a man, and they have a very low opinion of anyone who thinks otherwise.

Furthermore, they believe one's sex/gender is ordained by God, and that God has also prescribed specific roles for males and females that are "complementary" to each other. In their eyes, anyone who behaves in a way that does not conform with the sex roles they believe God has ordained is defying the will of God.

This takes in a wide range of behavior, including having sex with (or marrying) a person of one's own sex, dressing in a way that does not conform to "traditional" gender roles, or even a woman's refusal to bow to her husband's "God given" authority.

Those who embrace the above ideology are horrified by homosexuality, same sex marriage, gender transition, cross dressing (drag queens - men dressing like women, oh noes!); pretty much anything on the LBTQIA+ spectrum is viewed as an abomination by these folks.

Even opposing abortion ties into this, because they regard that as a woman refusing to conform to her "natural" function of having babies.

Thy make fun of us lefties, claiming we don't know the difference between a man and a woman, because we recognize the right of consenting adults to love whom they want (or just have sex with whom they want) marry whom they want (or no one, as the case may be); dress how they want; choose whether, when, and how to become parents; and live as the gender thats feels most authentic to them.

They think they're being funny and clever when they make cracks ab6out Democrats not knowing what a woman is, but all they're actually doing is displaying their own willful ignorance.
