Uh oh, the "transvestigators" are at it again!
As we all know by now, conservatives are bizarrely obsessed with trans people. So much so that in recent years, they've gone full-tilt conspiratorial about it.
Entire Facebook pages are dedicated to "transvestigating" celebrities and politicians who they are convinced are secretly trans and lying to us about it.
And their newest target? Democratic President John F. Kennedy. Yep, they're convinced he was born a woman.
To perform their "transvestigations," these weirdos often focus on the supposed differences in physical traits between men and women.
And it seems that John F. Kennedy had "female" clavicles, you guys. Right under our noses! Wake up, sheeple!
According to the transvestigators, women's clavicles are at a much steeper angle than men's, forming a more acute "V" shape.
And according to shirtless pics of JFK, he had far more V-shaped clavicles than any man should have, which obviously means JFK was secretly a woman who transitioned.
And not only transitioned, but transitioned so successfully that he fooled everybody, despite him being a public figure in the '50s and '60s when medical technology wasn't quite what it is now.
But the main reason this doesn't make sense is that the transvestigators are, as usual, wrong about the "male" vs. "female" clavicle.
Compared to most species, humans have much lower sexual dimorphism, or differences in physical traits between bodies with male genitalia and those with female genitalia, meaning men's and women's individual traits frequently overlap.
In short: There is no such thing as girl clavicles and boy clavicles. JFK just had... clavicles.
This same very stupid trap underpins most transvestigators' bizarre conclusions, like that Michelle Obama is secretly a man because she has thicker arms. Not because she works out, of course. Because she's secretly a man!
This would all be funny for its silliness if it weren't so dangerous. By creating this baseless hysteria and upholding supposed gender standards that don't even exist, it endangers not only actual trans people, but many others.
Many transvestigators' "proof" often rests in explicitly racist or antisemitic tropes about the supposed differences in marginalized people's bodies that in some cases are part of stereotypes and conspiracy theories that are thousands of years old.
Thankfully, it didn't seem like anyone was falling for this weirdo's nonsense, in many cases not even his fellow conservative transphobes.
Anyway, JFK is now a member of a rather exclusive club: Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Madonna have all been ruled to be secretly trans by the transvestigator community. Legends only!
