    I keep telling my coworkers chosen names aren’t even really a “trans” thing. We work psychiatry so we get plenty of people that don’t want to be called by the name they share with the relative that beat them or whatever. There’s plenty of reasons to go by a different name!

      Yeah I’m trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one’s used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I’m the only one who doesn’t call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.

      That’s not a reason many Republicans would accept though. They think being beaten by a relative is a good thing. Especially if the person being beaten is a child.

      Hulk Hogan is almost the single reason why wrestlers do t have a union and aren’t offered the same protections as other entertainers. He’s truly human garbage.

    Hulk Hogan is a Republican?

    Why is it always washed up actors or once-famous-but-not-so-much-now people that are Republicans?

      Not just a Republican, but was on stage with Trump at the RNC.

      Also, he’s a racist. He literally called himself a racist and then used the N-word. He just didn’t know he was being recorded at the time.

      Throwing foam rocks is a prerequisite, I think. Art least, that explains Sorbo and Cain.

              My point is that it’s hypocritical and rude to post transphobic ‘jokes’ on a pro-trans meme. I get that it’s fun to dunk on conservatives, but doing so with transphobic jokes causes a lot of friendly fire.

            That “an abandoned wreck or shell” seems very fitting for ol’ Marge, I assume…?

            Or maybe they’re going for “one that is bulky or unwieldy”, which would also fit… 🤔

              Maybe in a vaccuum this could be a reason for someone to call her ‘hulk’, but let’s not pretend like they’re not referencing the person in the photo we’re commenting on when they said that.

      Nope. Terry Crews was born Terry Allan Crews.

      Hulk Hogan was born Terry Gene Bollea.

      Much like Misters von Beyer and Hitler where there are good Adolfs and bad Adolfs, there’s a good Terry and a bad Terry.

    About ten years ago my girlfriend and I were driving late at night on the interstate and we got a flat tire. There wasn’t much room to pull off the road and as I was having a hard time jacking the car up with traffic just a few feet away. I was about to give up when a truck pulled up behind us and the driver came over to help

        (In a light rap style) Brothers and Butts

        Hulk Hogan, out in the streets, Sun’s blazin’, burning his feet

        “Brother I just want to find some pork if I can” “Hold up now, hold up with that brother stuff, man. We ain’t sippin’ sweet tea on the porch, understand?” Didn’t realize these brothers ain’t Hulkster’s fans

        Belly rumblin’, pork on his mind, Walked in the shop, said “brother, can I find…” “In this cafeteria, call me Mr. Jackson, if you can” I guess these brothers weren’t Hulkster’s fans

        Dudes heads turning, watching the man. Hulkster’s confused, “don’t I have a tan?” Maybe the pork got to my head, who knows? But “brother” here, sounds different, it flows

        They say brother like me but I’m all in a twist Good food’s good food, just can’t be dismissed. Menu in hand pork sweat on my brow, This brother dispute needs to end now

        Belly rumblin’, pork on my mind, Walked in the shop, said “friend, can I find…” A mountain of ribs, a pulled pork cascade, It just kept on flowin Hulkster had it made

        Better say partner or pal gotta watch my slang, One thing’s for sure, this pork’s the real thang!
