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

    Rich/famous transphobes’ voices are louder because they’re rich, unfortunately. It’s the same problem with every other awful opinion that rich/famous people have.

    I do suspect though that it also has to do with social class and thinking that they are “above”.

      yeah may be it’s just rich people having a louder voice . But trans existed for a long time, and we never heard so much vitriol against them until a few decade back
