    They are just propagandized. In general, it’s so much like racists - they may know trans people and just think they are the exceptions, like them as individuals and still think they hate them as a group. They are intentionally riled up by being forced fed edge cases and disinformation.

    Trans people are just people. They aren’t angels who are never criminals and they aren’t degenerates who are always criminal, they are a diverse group like all of us are. But you can bet your ass that whenever a trans person does something criminal it will be blown up so big in conservative media and used to paint them all as criminals. It’s just the right wing media machine.

    Conservatives come in two types. The rich ones who want more and more money. And the poor ones who also want more money but are unable to obtain it because the rich hoard money.

    The rich conservatives need to stop the poor conservatives from realizing the rich are why the poor can’t get money. So they make up vulnerable groups to blame for the poor’s problem, and the poor are generally too poorly educated to catch on to this game.

    Different groups have been the scapegoat. Women, blacks, the italians, the irish, asians, gays, and now it’s transgender people.

    The good news is transgender people WILL get full rights in about 20-30 years if you look at historical cycles. The bad news is it will be a fight and many will die before they get treated as human beings by these asshole conservatives.

    How to say it delicately… Many conservative/religious men really, truly want to just impale their throats on lady dick, but they are indoctrinated from birth to believe that a zombie from space (who they agree watches them shower and have sex) will be mad at them if they do what makes them happy. So to distract themselves from that always burning urge to ravenously aspirate dong nog, they performatively hate things as a hobby to pass the time until they die - profoundly alone and completely unhappy (see Lindsey Graham)

    And then the conservative women are taught that they are stupid, useless furniture pieces there to look pretty and parrot - not capable of an opinion outside of the one provided by their husband or father.

      🤣🤣

      This is so on the nose, I love it.

      As a male who quite enjoys having said orface impaled by (lady) dick. These folks need to start enjoying life instead of hating it and dragging everyone else down with them.

      Ravenously asperate dong nog

      Brother, your killing me here, this is epic.

      I can’t blame the attraction, but for real it’s sad they hold back the world bc of their need to categorize the world according to sky daddy. What’s worse is the women who support the indoctrination, I really hoped my sister would “see the light” as an adult but she’s following the zombie’s footsteps as prescribed.

    I’ve never met a person against trans people. I talk to lots of people as a Uber driver in Denver. What state do you live in?

    conservative ideology is built around hate, and thus attracts hateful people, or indoctrinates people susceptible to to such ideology. There must always be some outside group to blame every problem on, and to feel superior to without having to actually be better. Conservatives have enough hate to go around that they’re not focused exclusively on trans people, but this flavor of hate is the new hotness for them.

    Because there are only 2 possibilities:

    1. Trans people are real and the Bible is a book filled to the brim with bullshit

    or

    1. Trans people are not real but merely EVIL men and women possessed by Satan because god created Adam and Eve, not they and them

    They are in fact mutually exclusive. So what do you think the moron cult members will choose, the option that requires deprogramming… or the option that aligns with their stupid bullshit cult beliefs?

    Because most people don’t actually know any trans people, and find unfamiliar things to be weird and scary.

    But also because terrible people have weaponized those feelings for personal political gain. Most people probably wouldn’t give a fuck, even if they found them weird, if talking heads weren’t stoking the flames of bigotry.

    Trans people give conservatives feelings in their pants and scare and confuse them. They lash out in fear, hatred, and self-loathing.

      Most of the culture wars bullshit is originating from a tiny but disproportionately noisy number of people.

      But then, because their claims are so outrageous, the media picks up onbit and runs with it, without bothering to be proportional to the number of people causing the problem in the format place.

    You all are overthinking it way too much.

    Most people hate anything that’s different or uncommon to themselves and their “world”.

    Simple as that.

    It’s heterophobia in the semantic sense of the word “fear of anything that’s different”.
