I think the reason the right associates trans identity with violence is because that’s the only lens they understand gender through at all. They are so engrossed in patriarchy that they can’t imagine gender being important in a non-violent context.also fundamentally empathy is a sin within these groups. "the sin of empathy." to try to understand is to be too accepting. so they, at their core, cannot and refuse to understand. if men (or rw women) cannot understand why another man may transition, then the only lens that they see it through is a genderless one that they always have been exposed to, predation.
