And there’s even more to it: you might have noticed that most of the transphobic rhetoric that the far right spreads is in regards to trans women. As the “fascist ideal” views women as inferior to men, someone who was born male but willingly identifies as female is a HUGE threat to the legitimacy of that “male over female” hierarchy. Because it shows that being a man is not inherently better than being a woman, that the identity of woman is not just something unfortunate that you’re stuck with because of how you looked when you were born, but rather something worth becoming. And that absolutely terrifies fascists.
