    Maybe in America, but consider

    • TERFs
    • Liberal conservatives
    • Transphobic people left of the radical right

    and whatnot. I don’t think transphobia is a great benchmark for extremism as long as it’s so widespread across the whole political spectrum.

      You mean three of the four flavors of the facist/alt right pipeline? The only one you’re missing is the ‘just asking questions’ manosphere dudebros

        Yes but by that logic there are there are only three types of people: those who believe people can change their gender, those who haven’t decided yet and those who want to mass murder minorities.

          I mean, I took the original comment in this thread to mean more like politicians who don’t support trans rights probably won’t support those things very much, which doesn’t seem too untrue. Since the meme is pretty exclusively about politicians and how trans rights are a pretty good litmus test for other issues, and so a politician who is explicitly transphobic is probably shitty about a bunch of other things, while one who’s middling on supporting trans rights is also probably middle of the road on supporting those other things too.

        isn’t the terf movement at least in the UK allied with a bunch of far right neo nazis? I’m pretty sure they also compromise on their reproductive rights to own trans people
