I'm pretty convinced that the only people that care that a person is trans has issues with themselves and are projecting. I'm a cis normie and I never, ever think about my gender. It just is and I find these haters incredibly weird. I really feel for the people who do as that must be an incredibly difficult thing to work through, so why make it harder for them. Plus, seeing loved ones bloom after transitioning is all the proof I need. Hate takes effort.

I think youre right for a lot of people, but conservative values require an out group. If it's not immigrants and transfolk, it's gonna be whomever else they can get people frothing at mouth over. Homeless people, mentally ill, it could be fucking left-handed folk. It's only the othering that matters.
