There are plenty of right-wingers who are mad about transgender people. Not anything they’ve done in particular. Just that they exist.
It used to be like that with black people. Then it was women who wanted rights. Then came the — GASP — homosexuals. But now conservatives have all new talking points and all new people to hate: Transgender folks.
And nobody hates them more than Ted Cruz.
Those who “oppose” transgender issues and what they often are forced to admit is plain and simple inclusion of everyone in our society have pulled out all the stops. They make up stories about drag queens being pedophiles and fantasize about being the dad who catches a “man” in a dress in the ladies’ room with their daughter so they can pound the living daylights out of them.
Ted Cruz is their cheerleader. He is desperate for relevance, and he’s now found his niche.
The sore spot for Republicans, as always, is equal rights. So they particularly hate that women who were born male are allowed to play women’s sports. So what does the right-wing crowd do about it? They make Lady Ballers, a new comedy movie that will never see wide release but will be available to those who watch Fox and read the Daily Wire.
The founder of the Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, explained himself:
Hollywood won’t make a movie about how laughably absurd it is that we now allow grown men to call themselves women and then dominate women’s sports.
So we did.
Introducing our first feature-length comedy, ‘LADY BALLERS.’

Predictably absent from the film is the fact that people assigned male at birth may only take part in women’s sports if they have undergone extensive hormone therapy that renders any physical advantages a male may have over a female head to head worthless.
But also missing is any explanation of why a former male would want to be ridiculed and ostracized just to be able to play a sport that fewer people watch and they get paid less for.
Especially if the movie that finally gets made about them has Ted Cruz in it.
