I’ve noticed that amongst the right, there’s a trend of “The only moral transition is MY transition” going on, Right Wing Transwomen who say they’re the only ones “Doing it to alleviate gender dysphoria” and that by asking for rights the others are “Making it some weird ideology”
Though they seem to fail to realize that the Right is actively working to prevent gender affirming care from being a thing for even adults.
JK Rowling seems to be in this camp, as she believes her one trans friend is the only “Legitimate” transperson
She was that way for some time, telling everyone that she respected trans people, just didn’t want them in the bathrooms she was in. She has long dropped the act though, and now fully supports the idea that trans women are all rapists.
It’s the same shtick all conservative influencers do. They act like their position is one of common sense while strawmanning the opinions of the left to hell (JKR does this with constant tweets about how biological sex is a real thing, which no one fucking denies, she’s the one denying the scientific consensus around sex, gender, and gender dysphoria), and then when they have garnered enough followers and people gain more of an emotional attachment to them instead of a rational one they show their true colors.

And no, trans people are not serial rapists.

Same thing goes for race for regressive politics. That gives off “They are one of the good ones” vibes.
