Walsh and Rowling are two of the most prolifically awful professional transphobes. You defend their hateful, ignorant statements (which of course they present as innocent inquiries) based on your having seen a trailer for Walsh's "documentary" propaganda (but admittedly not the film itself) and your remembering a single tweet by Rowling (though she tweets daily and also writes articles, so there's a lot more to explore there). You frame this "debate" as trans people having an unexamined "ideology" about themselves versus non-trans people asking curious questions to poke holes in the alleged trans dogma. Let's do a reframe. Trans people and their allies write brilliantly on questions of sex and gender (and we do not all share an ideology—we are individuals who have different ideas, and we can change our minds). Trans people are doctors and social workers and earn PhDs in literature and social studies and are community organizers and performers and communicators and teachers. If you would like to learn about trans people's lives, the misunderstanding and organized hate we encounter, and other gender-related topics that acknowledge trans experiences, you could start by reading what trans experts have already written (they've written it over and over) instead of preemptively siding with far-right purveyors of hate speech whose work you haven't read either. We trans people have spent so. many. hours. of our precious. lives. explaining how transphobia works. I have a lot of articles on this topic here on Medium. If you don't know any trans people in a meaningful way, if you haven't studied LGBTQ history, and if you haven't spent time learning about transphobia, you aren't qualified to say transphobia doesn't exist or that it's made up of sincere and curious questions or that it's harmless or that its ringleaders aren't ringleading and are merely talking out loud to themselves while incidentally making a daily choice to teach fascism to their millions of followers.
