It just confirms that conservatives are only afraid of everything. It was race, it was gays, it's now trans.
Their entire platform is fear of everything.
I saw a guy with a bumper sticker that said "Fuck Biden" and I assumed he was a scared little boy.
That is also my general understanding about hatred and neophobia/xenophobia in general. It's the lack of understanding and fear or the unknown that fuels it.
It's only evolutionary, to be afraid of the other. It's what's kept us alive for millennia. Thousands of millennia. Our society is evolving faster than our brains, unfortunately. We need to educate better.
