To get your head around this you must first understand that the haters see transsexuals, homosexuals, etc., as having made a choice. By stamping on those people, they are preventing others from making what they see as a life ruining decision.
Hell, you can see it in this very post. To Musk, Xavier was suckered into being trans by woke people.
There’s much more to unpack regarding the hate which I won’t get into, but the belief in choice is the starting point.
The logic still doesn’t track though. Even if it was a choice, who cares?
People are making choices to murder people, poison the drinking water, rape the weak, spread prion diseases, and strip your rights. But I hear nothing from the same exact people screaming about trans - which has no effect on your living conditions.
Like we really need to stop trying to rationalize these people. They are seriously worthless scum until they start speaking in good faith - which they won’t because they can’t rationalize misplaced fear.
All of the wedge issues are like that too. Abortion, social justice, guns all directly impact a relatively small number of people. However people have very serious opinions on those things that go to the very core of their character and partly define who they are, so they’re used to divide the majority into smaller groups. So we don’t gain class consciousness and realize what the problem actually is.
