Mike Johnson Admits His High School Crew Would Have Lied About Their Gender to Perv on Teenage Girls

Mike Johnson Admits His High School Crew Would Have Lied About Their Gender to Perv on Teenage Girls

Johnson claimed his high school friend group would have faked trans status to presumably watch high school girls shower and undress

During a radio interview on KEEL News in 2016, Speaker Mike Johnson spoke against school accommodations for trans students, arguing that his high school "crew" would have used the accommodations to falsely claim to be trans in order to spy on high school girls in their locker rooms:

Johnson is revealing that his high school crew would have falsely claimed trans status to spy on teenage girls undressing and showering in their locker rooms. In other words, Johnson is arguing that because the high school friend group he belonged to were a bunch of perverts that he believes would have been willing to lie in order get access to teenage girls showering, trans students shouldn't be offered accommodations.

And considering how dangerous some cis teen boys can be to trans kids, it seems very unlikely cis teen boys-- knowing their fellows-- would do that.
Notice, however, how he thinks this is kind of a normal behavior for his friends.

It seems highly unlikely any cis boy would lie about it, because in order for it to work, it would have to be a concerted, year-long effort which would include wearing dresses and makeup. I mean, c'mon! Tuesday you're straight as fuck and Wednesday you show up at the girl's locker room and demand to be let in, and when the gym teacher stops you, you're going to loudly and proudly declare yourself trans? And then, what? Show up on Thursday as a straight male again? Puh-lease.

For a boy to start using the girls' room requires that he claims to be trans. That is a very big deal for a high school kid, particularly a boy. It would shift everything for him socially and have a lot of unpleasant repercussions. Also, a boy's ego and sense of being a man would not allow him to make such a concession, just to peek at girls peeing.

This guy just oozes lack of reality and real world experiences.
To think that's remotely practical is cartoon-ish.

I suspect a similar mentality among all the "he man mega-gun" enthusiasts: living in a fantasy world of some kind of sort where they are alpha males and all powerful, and everything they want to do is ok.

Although why an "all powerful super male" needs to put on a dress to sneak into a women's shower for a peek is beyond me.

Truly. Were they indoctrinated as impressionable youth under the control of adults who should have been helping them be functional humans?

Oh...yeah...that's the missing bit.

You do know there’s a little more to “this trans thing” than “guys, we’re gonna check out the naked chicks in the locker room tomorrow, everyone wear their sister’s lipstick to school.”

But, ya know, if you want to live as the other gender all year and get your asses kicked by the football team every day for not conforming to narrow gender norms like Actual Trans People do, feel free. I suspect these wimps would be washing their faces and heading home to change before first period. You must be brave to be trans and Mike Johnson doesn’t appear to be.
