Yeah, I think all of this over-the-top anger about trans people, which is basically what all these Republican candidates are running on, is because Republicans never came to peace with same-sex marriage. They just shut up about it. And trans rights are a way to kind of try to claw that back.
-Stuart Stevens
My Thoughts: The Republican anti-trans anger is displaced anger over their shame for getting turned on my ladyboy porn and seeing trans women who they find more attractive than their wife or girlfriend; kink shame turned outward. A variation of those making anti-gay statements/policy who turn out to be gay or bi.
