It’s quite possible those tankies are the very same people excusing his transphobia, they already simp for Castro and Che, who rounded up gay people and put them in “totally not death camps” for their “mandatory service” where they were starved and worked and beaten to death, and they totally excuse him for that, too.
Yeah yeah, “later he said he was sorry he had all those gay people killed in concentration camps.” Uh huh.
