Whenever he's transphobic I always think of his daughter Vivian and feel like it must hurt her a lot. It's sad
My pet theory is that he’s transphobic because Vivian destroyed his dream of having only sons. He (in)famously uses IVF so he can selectively only have male embryos implanted. And Vivian flies in the face of that plan. Vivian is living proof that even with all of the modern scientific marvels of IVF and all the money in the world, he still can’t accomplish his goal of only having boys.
I don't know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu's reaction to Vivian's transition is a large part of his transphobia. I'm pretty sure he'd be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.
