The only reason is topic is even on the table is the sheer amount of political grifters riding the trans “panic” for many years, trying to rile up a mob. This is a non issue, and online trans investigators and people like jk Rowling so far managed to only hurt multiple (assigned at birth) women in sports, whos looks don’t conform with traditional femininity.

Trans panic is doubly popular on the right because it's a wedge issue within the left, it divided modern feminism into two camps

  Bingo.

  You sure about that? I rarely see any debate on the left about trans rights, but I see various right wing politicians and media constantly beat the drums about trans people - bathrooms, sports, claiming them all to be pedophiles, “transinvestigating” various celebrities or figures. Current US executive branch made a few directed hits against trans people, for example creating a bunch of problems with passports. Trans people are certainly one of the most popular scapegoats for the right.

    > Trans panic is doubly popular on the right That's what I said. I'm not sure what you read.

      My bad, I read it as “doubtly”, if it’s even a word.
