Anti Trans And Why It Fails

[Angrboda]

This is simply a part of a larger assault on identity politics by the right. They want to mute minority voices and concerns and so they argue that identity and politics based on identity such as #BlackLivesMatter is not legitimate and is degrading the engagement of real political issues like taxes and the economy. It's a method to remove the questions that minorities raise from the playing field, a sort of nuclear option. As Syndrome said, "When everyone is super, no one is." They want to silence minority voices so that the only concerns brought to the table are those of the white, male, Christian majority, ignoring that they will not hold that majority much longer. Like the Republican party, which is less well represented in the public than the Democratic party, they want to gain and hold onto control by manipulating the terms of engagement. They can't win within the rules of the game, so they want to change the rules of the game, or prevent the referees in the game from functioning effectively.
