    Doesn’t this imply that there are more trans people in Republican areas than non-Republican areas?

    Everything going on with the femboy heatmap is incredible. All the red and blue areas of the southwest doing the handshake meme. The population cachment areas of fucking Scranton and Pueblo of all places going all in for some reason. The smooth cultural gradient in Cascadia.

    It’s also in the wrong article because femboys aren’t trans, but it is funny to contrast it with the map for ‘shemale’ (eugh)

    Everyday I find myself completely baffled by human behavior. There are days I legitimately do not think I’m the same species.

    If I hate someone, I genuinely hate 1athem. Like Gary that I worked with in 2003. 20+ years later, and I STILL think he’s one of the biggest 1assholes I ever met.

    1At NO POINT do I want Gary porn. Maybe Gary death porn, but not sexual porn. I’d like to see him walk into a walk-in closet, when a bunch of spinning blades shoot out and cut him into tiny dice sized cubes.

    But these people claim to hate trans folks, but then go home and beat their meat to them? Where’s the hate then??? If you’re going to hate someone, truely hate them because they stand for everything you dispise. Otherwise, you’re just saying your own values mean nothing to you, and you shouldn’t be taken seriously at face value.

    And in this particular case, why even bother hating trans people at all? Just accept trans people for who they are, and bust all the nuts you want without being a hypocrite.

    Aside from kids and animals, there aren’t many kinks I’d look down on people for, as long as they’re just true to themselves. I may not like the idea of licking feet, but if thats your thing, own up to it! Be yourself!

    Article says there are more searches for trans-related keywords in GOP areas. However it doesn’t say anything about trans porn searches vs cis porn searches. It wouldn’t surprise me if conservative areas have more searches for porn in general, so all the numbers are higher. Anyway the article uses a lot of statistical jargon without seeming to check this basic issue. FAIL.

      Yeah, it’s just correlation, which does not mean it’s true, the reason could be a different one

      Yeah, and if it did, I feel like it’s their vigilante fantasy scour. Not genuine crank material. Either way, unhealthy obsession.

    They can’t get off if it’s mainstream, they need their fetishes to be taboo, and preferably illegal. So, they make it illegal, then rub themselves raw over it.

      You see the performers as people. They see the performers as fuckmeat. You are not the same.

        Very good point. I also see now that this is only focused on search terms for MtF folk. I’m an equal opportunity gooner, I enjoy some fine-ass FtM peeps in porn too. I have a feeling they don’t.

    **Search terms for the list ranking include only: “shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”

    They’re going to be missing a large chunk by excluding drawn/cartoon/anime type categories and terms like futa.

    Although, not sure how well the southern peeps are gonna know any words coming from other cultures to reference what they’re looking for.

      I think it’s interesting that the terms are predominately slur form too, which you’d expect to be more common amongst conservatives.

    the article does have this headline but doesn’t actually back it up (convincingly) at all. it seems to thinks googling ‘“shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”’’ counts as searching for trans porn. kelsey libert doesn’t seem to have any relevant qualifications either

      Also, who uses google to search for porn? This research appears to be making a LOT of assumptions about what their data actually represents.

        I have a better argument here than they do that based on the number of comments here progressives only look for the facts they want to hear without reading the actual articles /j

      Hell ya! I was worried I was a republican their for a second ( /s ) luckily those are not the terms I use to search for trans porn but like I also show trans people and people regardless of gender respect.

      Side note, I get the other terms coming from right wing ignorant assholes but feel femboy is not that bad, am I wrong on this? I have not yet read the article.

        We’ve heard lots of people referring to themselves as femboys. So probably not that bad.

        But a femboy (in the context we’re used to) isn’t a trans woman, it’s a boy with feminine qualities, I think (while still being male).
