What an ugly woman
I think she should really start going by her biological sex instead of just identifying as a woman. That's a badly built butch body if it's an actual biological woman
I'm a cis woman but it's comments like these that made me feel ashamed to be tall in high school. That may have been well-intentioned sarcastic transphobia, but when you poke fun at celebrities for their bodies, it's only other people who hear.
Can we not? MTG could look like Sofia Vergara and she'd still be an ugly piece of shit. All commenting on her appearance does here is make decent people feel bad about themselves. Transphobia doesn't suddenly become acceptable because you're trying to turn it back on somebody evil.
I didn't mean it to sound transphobic I meant it to missgender her the way she does to others: https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-misgenders-sarah-mcbride-congress-transgender-bathroom-ban-1988071
I think that's fair. So that she could understand how it feels.
Also the badly built body thing was a reference to another time she was called out.
She wouldn't care, most likely, you know who will care though? Women and trans women, some of which have already heard similar things hurled at them as insults.
Don't try to use transphobia "for good" it won't work and only harm the people around you.
Exhibit A of "bigotry is totally funny if we don't like the victim"
