To the editor: Columnist Robin Abcarian is correct in her analysis of the Republicans’ use of the transgender (non)issue as a solution to achieve energy by stoking concern inside a inhabitants that’s already averse to social change.
Nevertheless, any weak group may very well be a goal of demonization. Why goal transgender folks, when they’re such a small minority and pose no precise risk?
The one issue Abcarian doesn’t point out is the poisonous hypermasculinity that former President Trump and his supporters spew to be able to compensate for their very own insecurities and lack of any actual concepts to maneuver the nation ahead. Too dangerous the transgender group has to undergo in consequence.

To the editor: Abcarian questions why Trump is so fixated on transgender points. Perhaps it’s as a result of his billionaire supporter Elon Musk desires to highlight it.
Musk’s transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, commented final July on her estrangement together with her father. After Musk had alleged that she was “killed” by the “woke thoughts virus,” she stated that her father “simply gained’t cease mendacity” about her and he lives in his “personal delusional fantasy land.”
Such disclosures definitely must be non-public for the common citizen. However when this election carries such excessive stakes for Individuals, the general public has a proper to find out about one thing like this.
