Is there any flavor of brain rot more powerfully corrosive than transphobia? Because it really does seem that once that particular bigotry takes root in a person, it replaces literally every part of their personality and faculties. Genuine fucking zombie mind virus.

"Biological" men and women.
Darling, we're ALL biological.
When they encounter something that doesn't line up with their narrow notions of "normalcy," they just have to make it their business even if it would be better for all involved if they didn't.
Being trans was accepted when homophobia was most prominent. And before that, it was women that were the problem. Or black people in general. New decade, new victim, same hate
Transitioning allows people to cross from one gender to another and really see sexism and such in full perspective, which scares bigots more than usual
Any nuance of sexual attraction that is ok with a dick on a partner is seen as "wrong" unless someone "commits" thr being gay, which leads to a lot of cognitive dissonance
And we need to figure out a lifeline back into sanity for those who are merely ignorant. Like, it's okay they didn't know and just want to not do that again.
once you get to the point where you are actively seeking out trans people to start shit, and refusing to stop, you are already pretty far down the path of radicalization, past the point of no return

Like someone else entirely takes over them and turns them into the worst kind of person.
It sounds so silly, because life is more complicated than that.
But it really does feel like someone else is speaking through them...
It catches me so off-guard and then they act like nothing happened.
The transphobia just becomes an obsessive focus.
They make their insecurities everyone else's problem.
But apparently, there's too many people out there who seem to have some kind of compulsive need to stick their noses where they don't belong.
