Yeah, they can't really talk about how they'll move more of the tax burden from the rich to the middle class. They can't really talk about undermining the public educating system. They can't talk about selling public lands or removing regulations that keep corporations from dumping shit everywhere.
Vulnerable target. It's easy to spot a racist, himophobe or a misogynist, but if you are a transphobic asshole, you can pretend you are worried about children or some other lie.
Yup. A tale as old as time. First it was that black women were a threat to other women and children so we have to keep them out of the bathrooms. Then it was lesbian women are a threat to women and children so we need to keep them out of bathrooms. Now its trans women are a threat to women and children so we need to keep them out of bathrooms.
Its the exact same insertminorityhere-phobic bullshit that bigots have been pedaling forever, they just swap the minority out when a few too many people start ostracizing them for the last one.
And is now making millions of dollars peddling her transphobic bullshit for white supremacists to jerk off to.
Which, all the money doesn't even account for the fact that all these "news" stations fly her over on private jets, give her luxury hotel rooms, comp her meals at expensive restaurants, etc., etc., etc.
It is to remind other hateful people, that the republican party hates the same people as them. Issues are irrelevant to that group. They only want to know: "am I part of that in group" and "do they hate the same people as me for the out group ". For bonus points with Christo-Fascists racist Nazis - they like to hear HOW will that "out group" full of people they hate be punished, harmed or disadvantaged to ensure the "in group" stays in control and FEELS important and powerful.
Example : women are not people, they are incubators. Thus abortion needs to be outlawed and change divorce laws so women can't leave abusive marriages.
Women you are NOT part of the republican Christo-Fascists in-group. They see you as LESS OF A PERSON.
Vote Blue to save your personal rights and freedom.
Because the GOP made it an issue despite trans people being less than 1% of the population, and now conservatives are in a hysteria thinking every homely woman is secretly a man until proven otherwise.
I saw a street interview recently where they asked a trump supporter what % of the US is trans. He said 15% and refused to believe the interviewer when he said it was 1%
Man, I felt so weird learning that Margot Robbie was trans. I never realize how far things have come where someone considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood is trans. Same with Taylor Swift, she’s quite the attractive trans person.
They only say that about Margot Robbie because she was in the Barbie movie. They get so mad when their fetish (skinny, blonde, white, barely legal) disagrees with them politically, they resort to calling them ugly. A right winger I work with told me she's "past her prime." Nevermind that he's 10 years older than her and shaped like a potato.
But that does describe the hate for Swift as well. I’m not a fan of hers, but to try and call her a man is hilarious. Not just cause she looks like a supermodel even in her 30’s, but cause we watched her grow from sweet, young country girl(like their entire idealized image of women) into full blown pop star. But then again, she doesn’t like Trump, so she must be villainized.
Same reason they decided masks were a deadly threat to their lives and represent the death of freedom.
Because it riled up the hate mob and few people actually liked wearing masks.
They gave up attackingbthe gay community since it was too large. So they targeted the smallest and least liked LGBT community and threw hysterics over it. It's a tiny community that has become the center of their world v
The GOP weirdo alliance caught the car with Roe V Wade, and had to pivot to the next target to rile up thier base. It's still to hot to directly attack the LGB portion, but the T+'s are seen as fair game.
Because it’s overwhelmingly taboo to hate on homosexuals in today’s society. Trans people are just the gays of the 80’s as far as Republicans are concerned.
Conservatives in the US never got over failing to stop the legalization of gay marriage. This was just the next rung on the ladder they keep trying to drag us back down all the way back to the days of segregation.
Because the idea that they might not be able to tell men and women apart terrifies them. Why? Because society has strict rules around what you can have and how you’re treated based on what’s between your legs. The patriarchy could fall apart!!!!
Because they dont have the capacity to be interested in anything more than surface level observations. They basically latch onto that’s different, hate it! If it’s unfamiliar they dont like it, so they’re threatened by everything and everyone. The world is a scary place to them.
Because it's the only thing (sports) where the question of trans people is a real issue. I wholeheartdedly support trans people, but I do think it can give huge advantages in sports, especially for trans women, and that a seperate category needs to be made in some sports.
Edit : Very curious about the downvotes I'm getting
Get the transphobes to shut the fuck up and then we can talk. We can have a fact based, data driven conversation when the transphobes are no longer involved and we actually have enough data to make those decisions.

Why are they utterly obsessed with this issue?
