as far as goals, it seems to me that this kind of reactionary political project uses transphobia in the same way it uses homophobia and misogyny as ideological tools to enforce ‘normalcy’ (e.g. patriarchal nuclear family). then when people don’t or can’t adhere to these norms, that is the justification to cut them out of the social safety net, which in turn supports gutting the state.
