I’m of the firm belief that 100% of anti-trans bigots have found a trans woman attractive and can’t handle the emotions the attraction stirred up.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Far right anti-trans content dominated discussions of trans people on Facebook. It's not just the large media institutions of the right but also its influencers who pushed this content and were rewarded by the algorithm that favors fear, anger, and hate.

Transgender Facebook content dominated by right-wing sources, study finds
Over the course of a year, anti-trans Facebook posts earned more engagement than positive and neutral trans content combined, Media Matters for America found.

No amount of persuasion or civility can counter that kind of asymmetry in media messaging. It's an absolute tsunami of negative messaging from the top-down funded by the wealthiest people on the planet.

When you have dominant right wing media along with favorable algorithmic incentives, it goes a long way to explain the slide in support for trans people. If every day someone is bombarded with the message "this group of people is a problem" they're going to start to believe that group is a problem.

Right wing media has dominated the info space about trans issues. Fox News alone writes more stories about trans people than even LGBTQ news outlets. That doesn't even take into account the influencer space where algo engagement favors this kind of narrative.

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

This is why you never cede an inch to these assholes.

They will come back and take your whole goddamn mile.
1. The President of the Heritage Foundation took to the influential PBD podcast today to announce his intent when it comes to transgender ADULT care: "You outlaw it."

He stated that the foundation is working precisely on a plan to ban all trans adult care.

The first few years of my career from 2016-2019 were basically all focused on advocating for GENDA to be passed in NY. A lot of my work was focused on housing and employment discrimination. I had no idea trans people could even compete in sports until 2020. It was not a thing we were pushing at all.

The ultimate problem here is that there's an entire class of political pundits like this who have cooked their brains on X and get their entire view of trans rights advocacy through an explicitly right wing framing, a result that was the explicit goal of Elon buying and manipulating the platform.

The olympics allowed trans people to compete in 2004. Renee Richards sin the right to compete in 1977. And the efforts that were done were undertaken with persuasion and consensus with sporting bodies over decades. The right responded with $100s millions in ads and a full legislative assault.

It's just incredibly frustrating that these people make these policy pronouncements without actually understanding any of the history at all. Most of the stuff he says are unpopular such as sports were never really a major focus of advocacy historically until the right forced it to be one.

Trans people learned quickly that compromise didn't work. They just kept coming back and passing more and more draconian laws. That is still happening regardless.

Utah, Missouri, and West Virginia passed limited bans as a result of quiet compromises. They're now all in the process of passing more permanent bans. Utah may strip a decade old civil rights protection statute for trans people this year.

Even with the legislative assault, compromises were made such as bans on trans youth surgery in exchange for not banning access to HRT, Arizona and New Hampshire being the examples. New Hampshire banned care fully for trans youth this year. Compromise didn't work.

Minnesota was the first state that passed discrimination protections in 1993. Minneapolis did so in 1975, that's fifty years ago! California followed suit in 2003. Utah! passed it in 2015. There were major advocacy efforts behind these bills that relied on persuasion and consensus.

Part of the right wing project around this is making it seem like trans people just randomly appeared in 2015 and we were unreasonable. (I wonder what happened that year that made trans people a focus for them?). There were decades of quiet advocacy to get basic anti discrimination protections.

Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.

This bill includes criminal penalties and a bounty provision. It also authorizes the state DMV to strip trans people off their current drivers licenses.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution.

The thing Matt doesn't acknowledge is that the right will just tar civil rights protections with fears about bathrooms, sports, and trans youth. One reason Iowa stripped trans people of civil rights protections is because they couldn't ban medicaid coverage for GAC without doing so.
Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others."

But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

the problem with giving in on things that don't poll well is that as soon as the right wins on the the things that don't poll well, they move on and start lying about more popular things to manipulate public opinion, starting the cycle again.
