Persecuting Trans Women: Finally a Thing Breitbart and The Religious Right Can Agree On

Breitbart’s anti-trans messaging was shaped by Milo Yiannopoulos. The Religious Right’s was shaped by the Family Research Council, home of Josh Duggar. Trump’s position on trans rights gives them and men like them leeway to behave like the predators they falsely accuse trans women of being.

Why the ACLU’s #IPeeWithLGBT Campaign Erases the T
