it's telling that they target trans content; but leave gay content alone.
They lost the chance to scapegoat the gays after they failed to in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic
Now there's too many gay people in the population to keep them down.
Once we get over this hurdle the same will be true for Trans people.
They knew that their attacks on gay people weren't as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time
it's sad, but expected from conservatives; the real sadness is an "ally" like biden who didn't enact the equal rights amendment that would help protect trans people from the legal version of this shit and then very publicly pretended that he did.
