It’s interesting to me that there hasn’t been a new anti-trans argument since the 90s and all of them get debunked all the time, but they still don’t give up because they have to reiterate arguments they *know* are wrong because they feel like bigots when they have to say “I just don’t like trans people, they creep me out” which is at the core of it all.

@BethanyBlack @PublicChaffinch I can't remember if it was Cody Johnson or someone else but there's little beyond their propaganda than disgust.
I think it's important to understand their propaganda from that angle, because no logic will work against a framework rooted in a feeling of disgust. We must optimally let the dinosaurs die. Obviously not always able to, but it's a far more agile stance than subjecting each other to their sad bigotry hose and the blame they cast about their divorces.

@BethanyBlack @PublicChaffinch thank goodness the ignorance of "sex=gender" is dying as that generation does, but as more and more of these asshats get told off by their children we'll see many were only ever swimming along in that tide of disgust and ignorance, without a deeper understanding of their fundamental fallacies and cruelty.
Already in my country the shrieking dozens of anti-trans commentators seem analogous to Westboro Baptist Church types, mired in conspiracy theories.
