Being anti trans is being a fascist, having a democratic cover does not wash away his views on who he is ok with dying. Same as a Zionist supporting democrat.
As far as I saw he just recently said he doesn't support trans people in women's sports. This is not the same as the conservative population that generally think trans people don't have a right to exist, use bathrooms, etc. Was there anything else he has said that is anti trans? I'm looking and I am not seeing.
Nobody who is concerned about trans people in women's sports gives a fuck about women's sports. The issue is basically a dog whistle for more general anti trans beliefs.
That's why it's being pushed as hard as it is, but there's a reason it's women's sports and not, say, being around kids or any other conservative hysteria. In the absence of competing information, it's easy for a reasonable person to see the argument/dogwhistle and think "yeah sure they have a point there," and frankly the left's generally poor communication on this topic doesn't help. For clarity, by that last bit I mean "even considering the argument is automatically considered transphobia and gets condemnation rather than a rebuttal, which leaves the debate with only one side arguing their case." Questioning the intentions of anyone who brings it up is also counterproductive; people can have opinions on things they don't strongly care about.
Who, Kimmel? Or Talarico?
Do you have a source for this?
I mean, no? Fascism by its nature resists definition, but no serious attempt at the task I've seen is that broad.
