      Transphobia has become the main glue holding the right together. Has anyone written an article on this?

          Do we need one? The cruelty is the point. There’s your evergreen article.

          No comprehensive articles about this but perhaps a book proposal on this is in the works.

          Perhaps but I think that greed, ignorance, misogyny, and racism are all up there in my top 5 with this one.

          I feel like racism is the fulcrum, but the aim is always the accumulation of money and power (greed). Not that there aren't legit racists in the movement; it's just useful, and effective, regardless of whether or not the person using it actually believes it.

          It seems like they're trying to use transphobia as the crowbar in the door so-to-speak to get to other lgbt things and women's rights, if you've seen how much they focus down on trans women especially you might know what I mean

          flag burning, "special rights for homosexuals" & the even the war on xmas are pretty played out, gotta ramp up that fear somehow... or where would they be?

          There's always xenophobia. You nail it w/racism being the fulcrum tho.

          There was an article about how transphobia ends up being a gateway to white supremacy and neo-nazis but I don’t remember who wrote it or where

          It's because trans issues hit at gender roles and the status of straight white men in America.
