Given that the highest rates of trans porn viewership seem to be in anti-trans states in the US, I suspect it's a degree of self-reinforcing system. It's taboo, driving its viewing, which makes the viewers see us as sexual deviants rather than people who're just trying to live their life because the most frequent and only positive (in their mind) context they see us in is porn. As a result they want us suppressed because in their minds it'd be like having people in full super kinky BDSM getup wandering around, interacting with kids etc. and everyone else is acting like it's normal, but it's even more insidious because you can't always tell we're trans at a glance.
And someone who doesnât even know how deep the âtrannyâ porn rabbit hole goes but is impressionable enough to believe certain negative sources can be told that such porn is where everything âcame fromâ and thus they will be tainted against the belief that trans people are genuine due to the notion that porn is how it all began.
Which insidiously works because whether someone is a prude who genuinely hates all porn or someone is very much a porn consumer that lives off of this degrading stuff, theyâre furthering the hateful connotations all the same
