Now the big controversy is trans people, but if it wasn’t, it would be anti gay sentiment. Gay is seen as comparatively normal even by Republicans because of a few complex reasons, but can be reductively simplified as changes to the Overton Window and what could be described as ‘changing goal posts’
I think the cons take issue with trans women because they project their own behaviors onto others. They think a man can just throw on a wig and a dress and do all kinds of things they’d like to do? Honestly, I’m cis male and I have zero interest in walking into a woman’s bathroom for my jollies. I’d rather not be in any public bathroom except to relieve myself and GTFO ASAP, and the idea of wanting to hang around the opposite sex restrooms to witness them relieving themselves? No thanks. But I honestly think some of these outspoken cons are honestly jealous of what they think trans women might be “getting away with” in that regard - again, maybe from personal kinks.
I think they also take issue with being “tricked” into being attracted to someone that was born male. For those that are probably closet cases, it seems to consume most of their day, to be honest. When I realize someone is trans that I thought was a female, I don’t take it as a personal insult, but there is a certain type of man that definitely does.
I think even most cons finally realized that not every gay person is after them, trying to “recruit” them, etc…but they have moved onto breaking out in beads of sweat over what trans women might be up to…
They don’t seem to spend too much of their time on trans men, though. A real puzzler. Not.
