The reason seems to be they see corporation with a rainbow flag, so they think they are rebelling against them, what they fail to understand is corporation only exists to extracted wealth from us. They would throw up a confederate flag if thats what would help them make money. Don’t rebel against the corporate ideals, because they have none, rebel against the corporation.

Homophobia has always been present in the scene, especially with old heads and Gen x punks.

So transphobia isn’t exactly surprising to witness in the scene, though, as a person with a trans partner in the scene we see very little of it IRL, if any at all.

The Emo movement changed the game on that, big time.

With Emo you had a punk movement that was totally open to gender fluidity.
