Immediately after taking office, the 47th president signed an executive order decreeing that it’s now the “policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.” Trump has also signed executive orders blocking people under the age of 19 from access to gender-affirming care, banning trans women from competing in women’s sports, and forbidding trans people from serving in the military.

Several of these actions, among others, are under some level of federal review. But as judges weigh the legality and scientific accuracy of the orders, the message is loud and clear: the Trump White House thinks there’s something wrong with trans people, and will do anything possible to make their lives more difficult.

All to say, it feels very unlikely that the current president’s vision for Trump Gaza would include provocatively dancing seaside xaddies rocking long beards and midriff-revealing bikinis and skirts.

But here we are, and to that end, the dancing figures’ inclusion in the promotional video raises unfortunate questions.

    TBH if we entertain that this is on purpose I came up with a similar theory myself (ofc I don’t know what was the removed shit you wrote about, so I disclaim I am not necessarily subscribe to your theory). There is an alt-right angle that says “libs are idiots to support Palestine, because Muslims hate trans people”. In a sick variant of this trope, Trump might just want to trigger Muslim people with transness. Still, his christo-nationalist supporters are no less medievalist that the Islamic State itself, so it would be still brainrot all the way down. But fascism is inherently inconsistent and self-contradictory, yet still, what the fuck?

      Removed was "f a g g ot " it seem to be a forbidden word. Changed it to ladyboy. I tried to use the word that I thought the video maker would use.
