> There's not really a unified "anti-trans movement", as different people have different reasons for opposing this.

Sure, lots of factions there but the GOP makes trans fear-mongering a cornerstone of their platform: over 600 anti-trans laws in the past 10 years (https://translegislation.com/learn). I haven't bothered to check but, I wager that virtually all of them were put forth by politicians with an R by their name.

> But one of these reasons for rejecting the ideology of "trans" is because it's homophobic.

Ideology of trans? Is it like a mutation of the communist virus?

And speaking of mutations, bravo on twisting my statement on homophobia into some squirrelly critique that justifies your fears.

Regardless, my statement stands that this fear of yours (and others) has been weaponized and politicized very effectively but is ultimately on the wrong side of history.

Again, I have no literal or figurative skin in this game, other than living in a world where ignorance and hate have been weaponized.
