Yes but also this is the natural course of far-right radicalization. These ideologies emerge to give people a permission structure to engage in recreational cruelty and bigotry. As the ideologies gain wider acceptance the cruelty needs the permission structure less and the bigotry becomes blunter.

since i started transitioning back in 2018 i feel the general trend of online transphobia has gotten lazier. back then when the most dedicated anti trans group online was TERFs, they were putting some amount of effort into making transphobia seem scientific. now all i see is "you're a man" x100. sad

They legitimized the ideas and the radical right weaponized them.
