Trans people are a fraction of a fraction of America. Republicans want to drive that fraction of a fraction into hiding for a simple reason -- they're the 1 minority group the right feels safest bashing right now. They don't care & it's just a fun way to smear vulnerable people.
@lolgop
It's even more than that. It's a way to condition people to fascist attacks - choose a very small very fringe minority and gin up moral panic to justify oppressive legislation and condone harrassment and violence. Not enough push back allows that fascist infrastructure to grow and be used for other groups and situations.
@YourNeighbor57 @lolgop Exactly. I was explaining this very concept once to someone who was saying if you don't know a lot of trans people, then how do you know these things being said about them isn't true. My reply was I don't have to know tons of trans people, I just have to know bigotry when I see it.
