I'm sure they do, in an academic sense.

But it doesn't fit the mental structure they've built to justify anti-trans bigotry, which is assembled on an scaffold of nominally trying to protect women from perverts.

Current right wing anti-trans sentiment is built on much of the same underlying ideas as the anti-trans part of 2nd wave trans-exclusive radical feminism:

  • All men are dangerous, likely sexual predators.
  • Sexual predators will do whatever they have to to pursue their prey.
  • You cannot change your sex, and wanting to is either mental illness or a ploy.
  • Women have a right to spaces that exclude men.
  • Women in such spaces are likely to be in a more vulnerable position than elsewhere.

Therefore, sexually predatory men will play dress up and pretend to be women to get access to women's spaces as a means to pursue prey.

If you accept all five of those points, then their view makes total sense (but at least half of those points are wrong, which is why it doesn't make sense in reality).

It's okay as long as their son is their masturbation buddy, like Mike Johnson's son.

They're just trying super hard to make America a worse place to live for some reason.

Worst speedrun ever

They worship money so they think life should be terrible for everyone (even themselves) except the owner class. Its the same reason Christians, family values types, and fiscal types still support people like Trump and other kid diddlin' Republicans - You're inherently "good" if you have the money to get out of it, so clearly it can't be a sin.
