Around 15 years ago, it was a (poor taste) joke in Democratic circles that Ann Coulter was a trans woman, because of her prominent Adam’s apple, and wouldn’t it be comical because of her anti-queer rhetoric? The Tea Party/MAGA crazies tend to borrow the taunts used against them, because they lack the creativity to come up with them on their own. They also lack the abstract thinking skills to recognize or appreciate the joke, so they turn it into a conspiracy theory, and many actually believe it.
