What’s really behind Republicans’ mounting transphobia? (And why all of us must speak out against it.) https://bit.ly/3Hkh13B

It is not very hard to figure out.

Churches started accusing LGBT people of being pedophiles in order to distract everyone from all the pedophile scandals at churches.

Once Trump became the nominee, Republican accusations of pedophilia increased, for pretty much the same reasons.

This is an evil idea, but what if there was a campaign to convince Republicans that trans folk are actually caused by climate change? Excessive CO2, over generations, messed with their Precious Bodily Fluids…

Because you can't beat Stupid with Truth. Been tried. And we already know they won't check History.

@WillRobinson

Major Ripper would understand.

piratero,

@rbreich what? The fact that they can’t fundraise abortion. I have to say I am quite sick of the kind of extortion practiced here.

@rbreich thank you. Much of the left doesn’t seem to care

Don't confuse disruptive speech to a fake "phobia."

As Levar Burton said in regards to speech:

teacherjasonthailand,

@rbreich exactly, it is the normalisation of hatred.

Also, it is distraction from the real issues. It distracts from all their other attempts to remove rights (voter rights, worker rights, etc.).

We've been conditioned over the past few decades to accept the belief, that there is no slippery slope. It's seen as a lazy argument. Maybe it just the term that is wrong. It's not a slippery slope accidentally slid down. It's a designed staircase, we are descending.

@rbreich Why everyone needs to speak up, right here. I’m not trans, I’m not gay, but unlike a lot of people it would seem, I’ve met, worked with and befriended many from the LGBTQ community and I know they’re people - human beings - just like you and me. I also had parents who grew up under and suffered under fascism, so I have an understanding of its stink and its self-serving blood lust. We will all have blood on our hands if we all just sit here like dummies, doing and saying nothing.

LIKE MASS SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA! ONCE THE FIRST ONE WAS ACCEPTED NOW, THEY ALL ARE!. THE SAME WILL HAPPEN WITH AMERICANS ACCEPTING THE REPUBLICAN\CHRISTIAN ATTACKS ON GAYS\TRANS!. WHO WILL NE NEXT?
