@broadwaybabyto Thank you,
> "because they’re an easy mark." and because no one (specially not cishet men) would dare defend trans folks (specially not trans women), too worried about what others may think (that they are gay?) if they would (so brave of you cishet men!).
Now they can talk about 'having balls'.
Transphobia serve pusillanimous politicians with an easy scapegoat almost no-one will defend but also; as Spanish politician Carla Antonelli recently pointed out:
transphobia -is- a business.
A business model for previously unknown 'essayists' to gain wider access to publishing/medias and to profit from (TERF/'gender critical') books selling.
She reminds folks that -all- of these transphobia fostering 'essayists' -do not- care about children, only their own wallets.
So remember: transphobia -is- a business.
For reference, here is Carla Antonelli recent interview (you may need to enable subtitles if you're a monoglot) >

"[Military adviser in films and former soldier] says women are more aware of surveillance and harder to follow."
