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 I think it's more than that. The existence of trans people especially (but lgbtqi+ prime generally too) upsets the foundational assumptions of the conservative hetero normal world view.
@naught101 @lolgop Exactly this. There is a feeling of divine right to prescribe existence for everyone.
