re: #288 Anymouse

Transgender people are thrown into the same pile as other groups conservatives need their voters to hate:

Liberals hate America (or the military, or want free stuff)
LGBT want special rights
Immigrants are taking your jobs
&c

It’s so pathetic. And the base just ate it up. My one wingnut friend who I never knew to have any real problem with transpeople started posting Shapiro’s bullshit anti-trans screeds. Needless to say, I stopped following him on FB since every day was some kind of bitchfest at someone for not conforming to his standards for gender identity.
