Explain to me like I am a literal 5 year old. What is the hate towards Trans people? Is it just because they a different? Did they do something to garner the hate? I was raised different and change... (lemmy.world)

Are good. And accepting the weird or different was the way to go.

Fascism cannot function without scapegoats, and trans people are the smallest minority group. Once they normalize persecuting the smallest group, they move up to the next group which is slightly larger than the previous. It's the Nazi playbook.

It looks like autistic people are next, based on RFK's bullshit.

What I wanna know here is what kind of 5 year olds you talk to in your everyday life

You have a point. I didn't really phrase that in a way that would be compatible with a 5 year old. In my defense, it says "like I'm 5" so maybe I'm allowed a little wiggle room.
