    They tried to show the clip where he says “God is nonbinary” as a point against him, but I only imagine kids from religious families going “wait that makes sense to me.”

      That commercial included several things which are pretty much just in the text. I learned them in bible class as a child, read them myself as a teen, and discussed them with a professor to boot.

      They’re entirely banking on Christians who don’t know much about the bible, which tbf is most of them. Sort of like how a lot of leftists don’t read theory.

        I first noticed american republicans pushing transphobic rhetoric around ten ish years ago or so. I want to be informed on issues that may arise during an election, so I had to research trans issues. All this was a direct result of that hateful rhetoric.

        I learned a lot about gender, and trans people, and it prompted me to consider my own gender which I really hadn’t done before. It took time after that to accept myself as trans, and even longer to be ready to do anything about it.

        If politicians had just left trans people alone I doubt I would have figured myself out by now.
