elon musk, mark zuckerberg, J.K rowling! Are the names that come to mind.

3 from different background: a African immigrant benefiting from government spending, an American smart young engineer, and a female English successful writer.

They are no politicians, and cant be accuse of trying to gather some vote. Multi-billions amongst them.

I get they lean to the right to protect their cash, with less tax and regulation. I get they are racist because they fear some poor people will take their cash.

But why the hatred for trans people ? It’s 1% of the population, they cant do anything, dont threaten anyone. There is no rational or psychological reason

*EDIT: I read all the comments. A lot of interesting explanation: smokescreen/scapegoat, maintaining the male/female power structure, new face of anti-gay , projection / self-hatred , just louder voice …

I realize, may be, I didn’t post a good question. May be it is less about the ultra-rich but more about why that rhetoric work on the general population (else it would not have taken hold as it does). For that I have a 2 cent theory: The raise of the cult of Nature we have since the global warming. The idea, that everything natural is better. The ugly version is only natural male and female are worthy*

    Deeply unserious of you to consider yourself “normal” when this is your understanding of gender and sexuality. Touch grass and talk to people.

        Not worth it, just someone doing

        CW: Transphobia

        the whole “I’m not transphobic, but I can see why people might be!” deal where they invalidate gender identity as a concept and portray it as a fetish and harmful for children to be around.

        Hope they cop a perma.

        We don’t have men’s brains. Scans actually show that our brain structures are more similar with our gender identity than our assigned gender at birth, especially after hormonal and social transitioning.

        Just the general fixation on gender as a sexual thing and not a gender thing, the dehumanization of transgender individuals, and vague connections to pedophilia and “child corruption” that don’t exist, as well as erasing trans identities and othering them, referring to brains as “male brains” for transwomen, the list goes on. Touch grass.

            It’s exactly what you seem to think, me not being a billionaire has nothing to do with your intense transphobia.
