It is not surprising that transphobes have adopted the fundamental alt right idea & tactic of using ‘free speech’ and ‘political correctness’ as as an argument in itself. The proximity & adoption of white supremacy is always a given when your values are rooted in discrimination.
Does disagreeing with trans identity make you a white supremacist? No. But does using white supremacist tactics to silence criticism of bigotry & the oppression of a systemically abused people? I think it makes you aligned with their values. And that is as dangerous.
The binary idea of gender & sexuality is a very British export. This is a fact. And enforcing those values on a people (trans people) who have literally existed for as long as human beings have isn’t just a different opinion, it is utterly wrong. Because it harms an entire people
Trans people are not harming cis women. They are not hurting anyone by merely existing. You feel that they are harmful because you have been conditioned to find anything that is different to you, whether black or muslim or trans as a threat. And that’s a you problem, not a debate
