"If you say that guns are only meant for killing people, then all of mine are defective because they have never done that. And I pray to God they never do," says McGrath. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson)

I grew up around firearms and have had guns my entire life. In the army I was a unit supply clerk/armorer.”

“The Trump campaign and his history show he is no friend of trans people,” she told The Associated Press.

McGrath grew up on a family farm in Max, Nebraska, a rural town in the state’s southwestern corner that was home to just 149 people in 2022, according to Census data.

You can take the girl out of the farm but can’t take the farm out of the girl.”

She struggled with her gender identity as a child. Growing up in a conservative, religious household, she turned to prayer to calm her inner turmoil. But it only served as a temporary fix.

Her mother died in 2011, and when her step-father died three years later, she returned to Nebraska to clean out their home. She was 53 and experienced an intense bout of gender dysphoria as she sorted through her mother’s makeup and clothes, remembering how she used to dress up in them as a child.

That inspired her to go online to find information about people who had gone through with gender reassignment surgery at her age. She joined an online forum that helped her work through her thoughts and feelings. By the end of the year, she knew that she was transgender and wanted to transition physically.

Several months later, in April 2015, while at her parents’ farmhouse in Max for an estate sale, she sat with family members to watch the interview in which former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner told journalist Diane Sawyer, “I’m a woman.” McGrath believes that helped her family get a better understanding of what she had been through and where she was going.

Over the last 10 years, she’s had countless therapy sessions, doctor’s appointments, two major surgeries and hours of electrolysis to get rid of facial hair.

“One thing that hasn’t happened is any form of regret over my decision to transition,” she said. “I have never looked back and asked, was this the right thing to do?”

For me, transitioning was the most difficult thing I have ever done but it has also been one of the most rewarding things I have experienced in life. I have absolutely no regrets and I have no desire to go back to being the sad and miserable person I had become prior to my transition.”

Even as she transitioned, she still identified strongly with Republican policies.

“My youngest son asked if I was going to become a Democrat,” she said. “My kids all got a big laugh when I told him that while I was willing to make some changes in my life, I wasn’t going to do anything as dramatic as that.”

But when she moved back to her native Nebraska from California last year, she registered to vote as a Democrat. This year, she was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

She plans to vote for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

I knew from a young age that I was different. But in the 60s and 70s, we really didn’t have a name for it. ... I was able to block it out for long periods of time, or so I thought.”

Damn, look at her daintily holding up that Tim Walz sign with her delicate Popeye the Sailor Man arms. Apparently not even estrogen can undo the performance enhancing effects of spinach and being a dockworker for 40 years.

UGHUGH-GUG-GUG-GUG-GUG!!
 
I didn't know Sandman from ECW trooned out.

Tulsi just jumped ship to MAGA so its all good.
 
Drumph has lost the coveted "Tat-covered fat Baby Boomer who dressed in his mother's lingerie before spending his pension money on disfiguring cosmetic surgery" demographic!

Or, as a based TradCath asked Charlie Kirk during his 2019 "we have diverse genderfluids too!" campus tour:
"You say you're a conservative. What exactly is this conserving?"

It's the age-old "man loses parents, goes insane" story but with a woke coat of paint. That's all this is. It's a late midlife crisis caused by having to confront mortality. Instead of accepting life for what it is, he has decided to rage against it. He even made up a totally real story for himself to believe about how he was always trans but just kind of forgot about it for forty years.

Let's see how that works out for him in the long run.

Forget the arms. Look at that middle-aged dad gut. That's the body that literally every millennial's father had in the 2000s.
 
You deserve to be shot. Sorry for speaking my truth.

Love the enormous beer gut on this delicate, feminine flower. You might be able to shave down and manipulate the other parts but fat distribution obeys far stronger rules than the Internet.
