Ben Shapiro and transphobia

Why? What business of his is it in the first place? With apologies to transgender folks, they don’t make me super comfortable either. But that’s my problem, not theirs. The thing you have to ask yourself is what is the rationale for right-wing extremists to be focusing on this issue in the first place? It’s dog-whistle politics you see. Find a defenseless group that is easy to victimize and scapegoat the ills of society onto them; it’s fascism 101. And doesn’t Shapiro refer to himself as a libertarian? What exactly is libertarian about not recognizing the inherent rights of everyone? What happened to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”? What happened to live and let live?
