    He hasn’t been shy about talking about trans people. He’s guided by the applause lines, constantly a/b testing which ones get him a bigger response, and since the ecosystem of the right has been building us up as the new bad guy, the crowd loves to be reminded that they should be mad about us.

        Yup. Lots of things aren’t about me. But the parts about vilifying trans people are inclusive of me.

        Definitely feeling some hostility that isn’t really necessary here.

          Yeah I don’t know if it’s just the way text can be read, but that commenters comment is very uncalled for. I mean trans people didn’t ask to be made the forefront issue for all these political candidates and “news” stories. They were thrust into the spotlight by republicans and subsequently demonized as is the conservative way, I mean literally they use the same scare tactics as their gay scare culture war bullshit. Implying that people can be turned trans and that it doesn’t really exist but is a fad, just garden-variety bigotry that comes with their culture war bullshit. And your mad at this person pointing it out? Make it make sense
