    it’s a democrat pejorative they use when people say, for example, they wouldn’t be willing to vote for gavin newsom as president because he’s a transphobe. in other words, a dog whistle for bigots.

        Transphobes don’t get to be leftists, but if that’s your kind of person I’ll mark you in Piefed so I don’t forget you’re a transphobe.
