      In the “all transphobia is recycled homophobia” mantra it seems the CHUDs are attempting to

      • Resurrect the highly discredited Scott Lively’s “The Pink Swastika” (cw extreme homophobia nazis) / queers are inherently extremely violent and need to be contained / restrained line.

      • Attempt to pass gun control laws against queers so violence and terror against them is more easy.

      • Create a registry of queer persons. Florida Ohio Tex@$$

      • Involuntarily commit trans / queer people to mental instiutions. (cw slurs / transphobia)

          Wasn’t there some chud professor that started the whole panic around people being trans as only a fetish? I remember hearing about it in a Contra(lib)Points video.

            Ray Blanchard

            (CW: discussion of transphobia)

            His theory of two types of trans people: autogynephilia and homosexual trans.

            The former are people who transition solely because its a fetish and they find it arousing to be a woman, and the latter are the “less bad” trans people are men who are attracted to men but are so feminine they ‘might as well’ be heterosexual women.

            What’s even more weird is some trans people adopt this theory. When I was in college someone once accused me of having AGP because I made a dumb femboy UwU joke, and when I asked “what”? She then said she was HSTS and knows ‘real’ trans people from the “fakes”. Keep in mind I am not trans, I am literally the grungler stereotype. Once again, if you’re cis and you think that transphobia will never come back to bite you, you’re wrong.

              transphobia

              It’s really important to remember Ray Blanchard identified as homosexual and was allegedly a notorious chaser of trans women.

              So uh projection much.

    And of course when the violence is coming from the right the news barely touches it. Plugging his name into the news search gives results that mostly aren’t even him. All the “no place for violence” shitheads are mysteriously silent about this.

    Anecdotally, a friend who works public health outreach was working a Pride event last weekend and many people were coming up to their org’s booth and asking about fallout and backlash from both the shooting and general political atmosphere. The participants also shared that attendance was markedly down from last year.

    Attacks based on a victim’s sexual orientation made up 17.2 percent of all hate crimes in 2024, and 4 percent were based on gender identity, according to the Human Rights Campaign’s analysis of FBI data.
