The problem is the messaging from the alt-right. Trans people aren’t pressuring kids to transition, or forcing people to have sex with them. And black freedom fighters weren’t rapists. And German Jews weren’t responsible for the financial disaster in post-WWI Germany.
Fascists aren’t leading a charge against real trans people. They’re making a rage-bait strawman and then stomping it to the ground.
This mania falls apart when people actually interact with real trans people, instead of taking the talking points given by reactionary figureheads and the Republicans they promote.
The only change to messaging would be to be more visible.
