Because it's peculiar and a classic outgroup. Can't kill gays and black people as freely anymore, so they went elsewhere.
A more comprehensive answer, because oligarchs need to steal money from somewhere in order to fuel their fortunes. They disenfranchise some to take from them and distract people with culture wars. It's globally very politically consistent.
Yep. The anti gay propaganda failed hard over a decade ago so they pivoted to a much smaller group, less understood and harder to empathise with. Sympathy is one thing, but if you're not trans, it's damned hard to imagine yourself in those shoes. On top of all that, everyone knows a gay person, much less so trans folks.
And trans people have even more against them! Know how we automatically and instinctively identify someone's sex from a quarter second glance of a quarter profile? Trans people can turn that sense on its ear and that freaks some people out.
I don't give a shit, but I can see why they're a perfect target. If we can keep our eye on, "trans rights are human rights", we can overcome this thing eventually.
These same people couldn't even bring themselves to say "black lives matter [if all lives matter]".
It's perplexing that a nation (or rather 50 nations) can have both the friendliest people and simultaneously the most hateful people (I mean politically significant numbers of them).
Living in the South is truly bizarre. I've never seen such warm and heartfelt interracial relations in more liberal cities, and at the same time such blatant racism. Seems we're mostly ok with "the blacks", but my Asian wife has caught some clear bullshit. I'm not one to pull the rAcISM card quickly, and neither is she, but she's told me tales. Since Trump 2.0, she's clearly persona non grata when we travel Mississippi. They were much nicer, or seemed so, before.
One of the easiest counterpoints to “blue” politicians that want to abandon Trans people as “they’re just not a huge voting bloc” is that fascists will just target another group next time the target stops working. First it was women, then black people, then gays. They will always have someone for hatred, and they don’t actually have any alliances (even in hatred).
Of course, the simpler counterpoint is “Ahhhh, you almost fooled me into thinking you weren’t fascist! It was a pretty good disguise though. Anyway, debating each other is a waste of time, since you don’t process thoughts and feelings, right?”
