Using homophobia and transphobia to mock public figures you don't like is still homophobic and transphobic.
@StefanThinks All of those caricatures of Trump and Putin in makeup kissing. "Isn't that hilarious?" No, why?
@StefanThinks yup.
And all the related stuff like insulting someone for not being "enough of" a man or woman.
Damn right.
@StefanThinks
Agree completely, and also: ableism! Not suddenly ok just because it's aimed at public figures doing bad stuff!!
@StefanThinks Also sexism. Do people really not think about what it says about men and women and their relative places in society when they mock that asshole billionaire by calling him the First Lady?
I have done this in the past and was very properly called out on it.
Thanks for the reminder...horrible people are still horrible no matter how they identify.
@StefanThinks aye. Bugs me.

@StefanThinks Fair enough, but it's also a perfectly valid tactic to turn the tables on homophobes and transphobes by using their own tactics against them to point out their hypocrisy. We all know that what is behind Nancy Mace's attacks on trans women is her obvious fear that she herself does not measure up to her own professed standards of femininity.
