Why is it do you think that people like Trump and Putin publicly proclaim themselves as trans-phobes.

They are exploiting the trans issue because they can see a political opportunity. For Putin it allows him to portray himself as a defender of Russian values against a degenerate West. Russia is very conservative socially, so this plays well. For Trump it meets a number of objectives. It aligns with the socially conservative people in the US. But it also gives him an in with people who have concerns, but are told their views are not valid. For me one of the biggest tactical issues with gender reform was the bludgeoning of opposition and the smearing of anyone with any concerns. That allows the likes of Trump to fill that space.
