   Indeed, the GOP is erupting in transphobic hatred... against a cisgender person. The possibility that they could be incorrect doesn't even occur to them. Because their hatred is based not on facts, but on how powerful their hatred makes them feel.

   Similarly, when the Nazis falsely claimed that the Jews had crashed Germany's economy, that wasn't meant as a factual claim. It was a statement of intent.

     "Why would a government where queer people are literally ILLEGAL - where queers are literally criminals for existing and gender transition of any kind is 100% ILLEGAL - why would such a government send a _trans woman_ in _secret_ to REPRESENT THEIR COUNTRY IN THE OLYMPICS?

     "Why would they do that, [name]?

     "Make it make sense for me. Explain it in very small words and very clearly.

     "Under what circumstances would ALGERIA, which JAILS LGBT PEOPLE, select a SEKRIT TRANS WOMAN as a NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE to the OLYMPICS.

     "Make it make sense."
