43% would be not at all willing to date someone who had opposing views on Donald Trump. Many say the same for the Capitol attack (39%), DEI (37%), abortion (37%), and gender roles (37%).
I kind of want to meet the person who agrees with me on all beliefs except trans rights. Like, how did they come to that conclusion when so many other things they support rely on having some basic empathy for people.
There are maybe some TERFs who take the radical feminism angle seriously. The idea is that they think trans people are transitioning because they identify more with stereotypes associated with the opposite sex.
In isolation, I think it would possible to come to the conclusion that trans men are “women trying to escape the patriarchy” and that trans women are “men unable to deal with internalized homophobia.” That a better solution would be to eliminate gender roles altogether.
This only really works if you never talk to trans people, and unfortunately it doesn’t seem that people who hold this view are often capable of changing their mind when presented with contradictory evidence.

And they assume trans lesbians are deranged predators.
You could ask my wife how much she feels like a victim.
Oh yeah, once I reveal that I’m a gay trans man and I’m not some lost sister, I am conversion therapy.
Evil predatory trans lesbians are of course such a danger that it’s a good thing to platform a cis lesbian porn star who has gleefully admitted to sexually assaulting people to complain about it.
