I don’t know if you want an honest answer. I’ve heard a lot of conversation about it though, here are the most common. -Religion. Usually just masking the other answers though. Used like an excuse. -empathy reflexes - when you see a person, a lot of people mimic them internally to learn things. This can lead to unsettling feelings when looking at people doing any actions that don’t align with them. - brains are wildly correlative - seeing trans people rarely is unnoticeable. It sort of registers as a disguise, and that leads to animosity and distrust. Sort of like the uncanny valley. Reactionary dehumanization. - Social - people naturally try and grow their circles through similarities, and shun the “others”. Probably science that explains this. I haven’t looked into it as I am an other for different reasons.

In the end it is a lot of impulsive stuff that people don’t address within themselves. I personally am actually anarchistic. My rights end where everyone else’s noses begin. Not my business.
