i am not really joking when i say that rabid, obsessive transphobia is predictive of certain kinds of cognitive decline

it's def a pattern i've seen before with other hate movements, like. people who are starting to decline a bit just latch on to stuff like this so hard. and i used to be a lot more confused by it, thinking "these people seem to have good heads on their shoulders and then they just go bonkers wtf" but in retrospect, a key element of it seems to be Already Having Decided You Are A Good Person(TM) and thus not feeling like you have to think about your beliefs or change yourself. like they feel like they've got everything figured out, then something shakes their world a little tiny bit and they lose it. i'm hoping as i age i can stay mentally limber 🫠
