Post-Election, the Transgender Movement Continues to Deny Reality

Following the national election, author Joyce Carol Oates posted on X that the “‘transgender issue meant a good deal to some voters,” and that she can “only conclude that many voters were made to hate & fear by rightwing media caricaturing & demonizing them.” According to Oates, the real problem was the “‘scapegoating” of transgender individuals over a fabricated or embellished moral outrage by conservative media.

Since then, more pundits and influential individuals have posited similar conclusions — either people do not understand the transgender issue or they are making a mountain out of a grain of sand. Some are claiming both.
