A great success of Maga has been the normalisation of transphobia. They’ve been preparing this for a long time.
Their message was simple. Transes are deviants, perverts, mentally ill, weirdos and you don’t want them anywhere near your children mark my words you’ll regret it if you do. Easy to understand, as this was essentially exactly the same set of slurs aimed at the gays since forever, even though they all turned out to be completely wrong.
Now they are in power so they can start their persecution. Like everything else they do, this involves ignoring or denying what others say, while using the full power of the state to enforce their own baseless prejudice.
The most prominent case is the sacking of all serving trans soldiers in the military. This has gone to court and the government doesn’t know its own policy, has provided false and misleading evidence in support, and has attempted to undermine the legal procedure.
No surprises there. The policy is based on an irrational hatred of trans people, nothing more. All this is part of a grind to dehumanise transes, to push them out of mainstream society, to “other” them.
Rather than deal with reality, they want to live in a world where transes don’t exist. So they are implementing policies that yet again explicitly deny reality. Do they really think that denying the existence of something means it actually doesn’t exist?
