It was just the post-indictment orders, as only those were considered illegitimate.

But since this entire presidency is illegitimate… Yes. Everything.

Is that an artificial patagium or are you just happy to see me?

Agreed, the trend would be troubling, especially if the explanation is that trans individuals’ political ideologies are shifting right. But there are other explanations we might entertain first.

For example, it’s not unlikely that the cohort inclined to identify as trans on a questionnaire has become not just larger but more ideologically inclusive via nascent mainstreaming. Meaning the trend could be mostly or entirely explained by recently affirmed gender identities, people who now feel ready/comfortable/safe to identify who didn’t before.

IIRC mainstreaming of homosexuality saw similar trends; e.g., more openly gay republicans, leading to similar speculation of a rightward shift when it was really just an expected statistical artifact being misinterpreted.

It may be shocking to see someone work directly against their own interests this way, but it shouldn’t be especially shocking that they’re trans.

Gender-normativity never had and never will have a monopoly on opportunists, trolls, and morons.

I suspect the user above you doesn’t care about that technicality. They’re just blaming victims for not being as virtuous as we are, which is small.
