    The point the comic is making (Old meme, unedited):

    Like the rainbow murals of Trump making out with Putin, where the focus of the art is clearly meant to be a gross-out effect.

      Yes, but the point the comic portrays wrong is that it is not about the gender affirming care, but about the hypocrisy.

      If you use it, then I don’t have a problem with that. Just shut up and let other people use it as well.

      Was that supposed to be gross? I thought it was just symbolising how pro-putin the trumby is

      I see how it would have an additional gross-out effect for bigots looking at it, but is that really what was intended by the piece?

        Given Putin’s stance on LGBT issues, yeah I’d be surprised if it wasn’t partly intended. Kinda playing to “loud homophobe is secretly gay” trope.
