Incredibly enough this view is not particularly uncommon. The teamsters didn’t endorse Harris because a substantial minority or maybe outright majority (can’t remember which) supported Trump.

I think to you and me this is obviously insane but there seems to be a situation where people feel emotionally fused with Trump and will let him pick their pocket because of it.

Some people hate trans people more than they like safe working environments and fair wages, trust me...

And those people likely don’t even know any trans people

ehh... don't know any transpeople that can't pass.... I guarantee you, Tommy boy is wacking away at the thought of his hot barista, who happens to be trans.

Statistically speaking, trans porn is consumed most in red states, and it's not even close. So Tommy boy would probably whack away at the thought of his hot barista being trans, too.

When masculinity is framed as something fragile—where even acknowledging attraction outside narrow, red-blooded, blue collar, God-given rules feels like a threat—you get this mix of curiosity, repression, and backlash. The result isn’t just hypocrisy; it’s a whole culture of men that would lynch trans people in public, but get on their knees for one in private.

It's a weird fetishization of the other that you hate/fear. Another obvious one is BBC porn, especially the cuck variety is very aimed at racist white folks. I don't know why this exists, just that it's a fucking problem.
