Lots of interesting trends happening right now in transphobia. Rowling is temporarily refocusing on the ace community. Intersex people are being discussed on the floor of the Texas House. Here’s my called shot. I think a lot of transphobes, especially politicians, are going to start dropping the pretense of caring about “biological sex”.
The truth is that the biology doesn’t support them and they’re increasingly being called on it. Half assed ally libs are learning how to bring up intersex conditions and push back against the idea that it’s an immutable binary. Yet even the christofascists pretend to give a shit about what biology says when making their appeals to biblical truth, referring to “biological sex” and “chromosomes” in the same breath as claiming they’re speaking the word of an ancient god whose prophets had no such concept. I think that particular mask is gonna come off real soon.
They don’t care what doctors say. They don’t care what biologists say. People are learning their talking points. So next iteration, they’re gonna come up with a new term like “god-given sex” to really make clear what they’re getting at.
If you ask me, I’m waiting for them to just drop all pretenses admit they’re doing this simply for no reason except a cheap laugh, hence why you hear “it’s just a joke”. That’s what most bigotry is deep down. Not that I’m saying it’s harmless, but chuds might genuinely see their monstrous behavior as no different than a cheeky 8-year old boy having fun.
Behind every chud is the soul of every annoying, golden child younger brother in history.
