Of course Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are transphobic. They contain multitudes of hate. I wrote this in January about their support of QAnon and the insurrection.

I watched both of them spew their transphobic fuckery in Congress today and when Boebert quoted Scripture, I had to wonder: can you imagine if Reps. Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib quoted from the Quran? MTG freaked out that they took an oath on a Quran!

White evangelical Christians get away with so much white supremacy, misogyny, and many forms of bigotry including transphobia because whiteness and Christianity are considered norm and default in the US.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she’d be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles. But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman-a rich one at that-Greene is instead a member of the House of Representatives in the most powerful country in the world feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…

MTG was dangerous and vile long before she was elected but because much of her vileness was directed at Muslims, Black people, and Jews, Republicans shrugged and carried on being the craven shits they are, happy to throw their weight behind anyone who brings them votes.

MTG & Boebert, like Trump, are not aberrations. They are fruition of GOP’s reliance on race, gender, and religion to keep white people in several parts of the U.S. - including the South - resolutely Republican and increasingly right wing. feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…

The danger, always, is that someone as vile as Greene is normalized by the U.S. media. White, blonde, Christian women--even the dangerous ideologues--are afforded the privilege of default and the audacity of innocence. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
