Republican Trans
A Community with No Home
The trans community will show you “unconditional” love and support UNTIL you stop pushing every aspect of their ideology. They become quite transphobic themselves considering they insult my “masculine” appearance regularly when they disagree with my beliefs. How accepting…🙄

I want to start this article with a request to everyone to keep an open mind. As we enter a time in our country where everything contributes to division, our government and the powers that be want us to remain divided. They don’t want us to engage in conversation or understanding; instead, they promote hatred and a rigid two-party system where conflict prevails.
Now, I identify as a Republican, often referred to as a MAGAt by the left. I navigate this corrupt system while holding relatively moderate views. I don’t believe that my beliefs are radical or extreme. Despite being called names like “dictator,” “Nazi” or “Retard” what I seek are straightforward objectives:
- A closed border
- Better national security
- Improved economy
- Lower inflation rate
- Freedom of Speech
- Right to bear arms
- Freedom of the press
- Strictly legal immigration
- No transitioning for children
- Elimination of sex trafficking and child pornography
- Eradication of reverse racism
- Addressing the fentanyl crisis
- Avoidance of foreign wars
Regardless of who you are or what you believe, I prioritize these goals for our country. Currently, with Biden in office, they aren’t receiving any attention.
But what if someone shared all these beliefs above and also identified as transgender?
This thought occurred to me as I scrolled through X and stumbled upon a profile: Kelly. She is a trans woman who openly rejects the prevailing woke trans ideology. Kelly refers to herself as a trans woman, not simply a woman, and acknowledges herself as biologically male. She even uses the hashtag #transwomenaremen. It surprised me to see such a perspective, as it diverges significantly from the mainstream narrative within the trans community. What was even more striking were the responses in the comments section. Other trans individuals hurled disgusting insults at her, demonstrating the intolerance within her own “community.”
Replies like: “Fascists don’t keep the good ones around forever.” “They hate you. They will always hate you just like they hate us. Get a grip on reality and be a human being.” “Genuinely evil, selling out your trans brothers and sisters like this. You’re a disappointment.” “Kelly what did you expect? You attacked other people because you thought you were the decider of who’s trans and who isn’t. You attacked people in your own community while trying to pander to those who hate you. This is reaping what you sow, Kelly. Get used to it.”
This made me ponder: Are there Republican trans individuals? And if so, where do they go?
When I initially joined social media platforms, I connected with fellow Republicans, Trump supporters, parents advocating for child safety, Christians, and gun owners. However, what I didn’t expect to find was a group of the gay community standing against the transitioning and sexualizing of kids, Gays Against Groomers. I found their stance admirable. As someone who had been accepting of the gay community in the past, I had finally found a niche I could get behind. These people are standing up against their own “community” to pave the way for protecting kids against transitioning.
This revelation broadened my perspective on the potential of the Republican Party. We can foster acceptance and community while remaining steadfast in our beliefs. We just need to identify those rare individuals who challenge the status quo, think critically, and endeavor to save our country while remaining true to themselves. Having advocates for Republican ideals within the gay community is crucial, and Republicans should recognize this as we approach the next election. But what about transgender individuals?
Due to the radical left’s fixation on transgender children, many on the right want nothing to do with transgender individuals. Even the gay community has distanced itself from them, creating a divide between LGB and TQIA+. Consequently, transgender individuals are largely excluded from the right.
Well what about the left? Trans people have made a home on the left. But the left is bombarded with a lot of extremist views. Transitioning children to be the top one. Woke culture has taken over the TQIA+ community. And turns out, there are some trans people who want nothing to do with it.
So, where can they turn? They feel unwelcome on the right, excluded from the LGB community, and disillusioned by the extremism within the left. They find themselves stranded in the middle, without a home.
I decided to investigate how the left might respond to a Republican transgender individual. The vitriol and negative comments directed at the mere concept of a Republican transgender person were astounding.
As a Republican myself I feel that it is our duty, as Americans who wish to safeguard our country and our children, to create space for Republican trans individuals. They need a genuine “SAFE SPACE,” where they can engage with reasonable people. Many of these individuals are content with being recognized as transgender; they don’t seek access to specific locker rooms or bathrooms for validation. They simply want to live their lives without interference. They’re weary of being associated with extremism and seek acceptance elsewhere. We should welcome them. As you’ll see below, it’s not uncommon for left-leaning trans commentators to assert to moderate trans individuals that “Republicans will never pick them.” So, let’s prove them wrong.
We must demonstrate that being a Republican does not equate to the eradication of transgender individuals. It equates only to the eradication of transitioning children. It means only the ending of gender-affirming “care” for kids who haven’t hit puberty yet. We don’t want to kill trans people, we’re not Nazis. We are simply trying to protect our country and protect our kids. Because here’s the thing, if the radical left isn’t goint to pick them. And the left tell them that Republicans will never pick them. Then maybe we should. Otherwise, we compel these moderate trans individuals to conform to the left merely to find a community where they belong. The radical left will manipulate and shame them into submission. Perhaps we should offer an alternative.
And so I decided to go into transgender Reddits to see how the trans community itself would react to a Republican trans person. Pay attention particularly to which comments get downvoted. Here are some of the results:
– F.W
Are there any Trans Republicans out there?
Do you lean right? If so, why?
