        Is that so? Or is that just a correlation?
        So, ultra-conservatives being LGBTQ haters and incidentally also having a high probability of being Christian?
        That would put the implied causality in question. I personally don’t like such generalizations. That’s what the right-wing agitators are doing and I really don’t want to decent to such a level myself.

      Surely that’d depend on the Muslim? Like, Islam is a very large religion and religious people rarely follow or consider valid all their stated rules to the letter, and disagree with eachother over the interpretation of those they do. I don’t know what exactly the Koran says on the matter, but given the terminology and understanding around gender (and available technology for transition) has changed a fair bit since the time it was written, I’d be fairly surprised if it said anything as clear as “you must not be trans” that didn’t leave room for interpretation and disagreement.

      Yeah, that part doesn’t make sense.
      And aren’t Latinos the standard scapegoats in the US?
      Projecting hate on Muslim foreigners I would consider to be more a European thing?
