    The republicans just want to hurt the transgender everything. Just like they did, and are going to do with the rest of the LGBT spectrum. Why? Their religion says so. That’s pretty much the only reason.

    Stop supporting religions. They all spread LGBT hate. Keep up your LGBTQ support, it’s needed now more than ever.

      The religion is just an excuse, what they’re really looking for is a small and weak minority group that they can attack without getting too much pushback. At something like 1.5% of the population trans people are a small enough minority without too much existing case law defending them so they’re an easy target.

      Ultimately Republicans have to have a minority to attack because it distracts the public from noticing how everything else the Republicans are doing is hurting everyone but a select few rich people. It’s political slight of hand, watch the rights violations over here so you don’t notice the embezzlement over there.
