You know this isn't about male or female, it's about promoting hate.

It's weird, because having spent a lot of time with them, it always seemed to me, that a lot of "right-wingers" are misanthropes who just need a group to hate and a reason to hate said group. Then they acquire a right-wing (preferably radical) ideology and retroactively rationalize their hate with that. And I do know even self-defined far-right people (if not that many) who don't just blindly hate any group (I know, weird) but most of them in my opinion just hate everyone and everything but only letting you know about the minorities don't like.
Every cuntservative talking point is a lie wrapped around a kernel of truth that they don't even care if it makes sense as long as they feel it gives them permission to hate.
around a kernel of truth
Not truth, just what they feel ought to be true because of some backwards ass reasoning that sounds semi-logical when you have a room-temp IQ and you don't think about the thing for more than a second
I'm going to disagree with you here because I think you are missing part of their tactics.
I'll give an example:
The whole 'schools leaving out kitty litter boxes for furry kids to poop in' as Joe Rogan so deliberately spread.
The kernel of truth is that some schools did put kitty litter boxes in some classrooms, but not because of furry kids, rather so in the case of a school shooter that kids have an emergency place to relieve themselves.
The reason why the 'kernel of truth' is important to their propaganda is that THERE WILL BE SOME WHO CHECK!
But because they WANT to believe in the most disturbing possibility, when they check and see that yes indeed some classes were issued kitty litter boxes they will stop reading the article there and just get all enthusiastic about their new license to hate, ignoring the actual reasons for the quickly reversed policy.
Without the kernel of truth to their lies, the people who do a tiny bit of research will immediately see their bullshit. So they make sure to craft it around one leverageable and overextended fragment of truth.
Putting out kitty litter boxes doesn't make the sentence "kitty litter boxes for furries to poop in"" true in any way in my opinion.
So "kernel of truth" for conservatives is if the sentence has a different meaning if you don't read it all the way through? Makes sense, but, ugh.
Of course what the repugnicunt propaganda faces said WASN'T true. The entire sentence taken in full is factually incorrect, because the actual truth doesn't push their regressive agenda.
But that doesn't matter to people actively looking for a reason to hate. And every study shows the rights disdain for education and rational thinking.
The kernel of truth is that yes, some classes had kitty litter boxes setup.
But the reason for it will be ignored by people who want to imagine schools as progressive lifestyle training camps.

This can and should be the undoing of the mainstream MAGA/Tories fascist and transphobic BS we have been spoon-fed for the last 7 or so years.
They're completely immune to hypocrisy, unfortunately
Hypocrisy is one of their core values.
This is correct. It took me years to cure my liberal belief that hypocrisy is not a virtue for these assholes (conservatism). So much time wasted on "gotchas" about it.
You can't logic someone out of a belief they didn't logic into.
They're all feelings. You gotta get them afraid of the right things. Like billionaires.
But it's much simpler to make them fear jews, trans people, or muslims
Mark Twain said it is much easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they are being fooled.
Can we fool them into being decent people?
If you're very well versed in mental gymnastics, maybe
I did the “ok, but why” argument with a MAGA I am forced to interact with on the trans issue.
He ended up admitting how “well, what am I supposed to do if I meet a really cute girl, and we go out, and then she had a penis!” I dunno, what would you do there? Maybe realize something about yourself and stop being a hateful fuck.
A few trans people were killed in the similar situation and that's horrible
It wouldn’t surprise me the way the MAGA people act. It short circuits their brain and they don’t know what to think.

Can and should and won't. Remember: the SI unit for progress is the Funeral.
Can you convert that to freedom units for me?
Bullets.
I'm slow and missed this week's news cycle. What the hell is going on?
Does this have to do with the Olympic Boxing thing?
Yes
What's the Olympics boxing thing?
Boxer from Algeria beat an Italian boxer in something like 46 seconds.
Algerian girl had been previously banned from a boxing event after some "confidential" test determined she didn't qualify. Later,the boxing group said she had XY chromosomes but no solid evidence. Olympics tested her and she passed. She was born a girl and always lived as a girl, being trans is illegal in her country.
The right is insisting she is trans because of either the XY thing or a claim that she has high T levels (I don't think this has been confirmed). Suddenly they are acting like her genitals don't matter and she is a male anyway even without any evidence (at best she would be intersex from the chromosomes but not trans).
I’ve heard it being described as “the right thinks there’s two genders: men and fuckable. Anything they personally consider not fuckable is now being called the former.”
I think they just don't want to admit they could get their ass kicked by a woman.
Finally, it won't be gay to find femboys hot.
Funnily enough, with the fact that grindr crashes sometimes near republican conventions, they may think the same way. They would never admit it though, of course.
That is the smartest thing I've ever heard anyone say, ever. I wonder, is it fuckable or breedable?
Then you might like the saying about the two races: white and political.

wait, when?
There is a boxer in the Olympics, who was assigned female at birth, has always female sex organs, was raised as female, and identifies as a woman. Some people are arguing that she shouldn't be considered a woman because she may or may not have XY chromosomes.
They keep moving the goalpost what it means to be a man or a woman - complaining about genitals. Stupid shit.
Soon, they'll be arguing about how women have more theta waves and a man's chakra needs to be above 80 Megatron's.
