    They believe it in part because transphobia is itself inherently irrational. They already carry around the hatred for no reason, so it’s not like they’re suddenly going to have standards before they believe whatever story they hear that caters to their outrage

      Because they’ve been taught Jesus will hate them if they’re gay, and if they see an attractive person that turns out to be trans, then that means they’re gay, and they’re going to hell.

      …er, not that it’s rational, but that’s my best attempt at figuring out most of these people.
