Increasingly see discussion among trans ppl around "are transphobes stupid or evil" and I think the answer is instead that they are bores.

It's neither a weakness of intellect nor essential moral flaw that drives them to repeat bollocks they've heard and be immune to evidence to the contrary. It's a condition of their boring alienation and need to fill the void with being bastards and finding unity in trans hate.

My feelings around my attempts to talk to transphobes and help resolve the gaps in knowledge through communication were I think largely foiled by the fact that transphobic people look up to other transphobic people, build families and networks of transphobe friends.

People focus too much on transphobic ideology and not on what people get from believing in it, which is often that they get to belong to a group that somehow meets their needs, give them a purpose, etc.
