Right-wingers are increasingly using what are very obviously men in drag as stand-ins for trans women for their rage bait videos because the evil blue-haired trans women they hate so much don't exist.

It's stupid but interesting on a couple of levels. Like first, they obviously can't find any examples of trans women behaving badly so they have to invent their own. Second, I don't think they could identify a trans woman in real life anyway because their assumptions are all wrong. The fake "trans women" in these videos are blatantly guys in wigs making duckface constantly and show a strange lack of concern for their own safety. Because it's fake and they're playing the villain, obviously.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social They're also using AI https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/the-right-is-so-hungry-for-anti-trans-stories-that-theyre-turning-to-ai-to-make-them-up/

@gwynnion@mastodon.social I feel like such a normal looking and acting person that I want to make videos about my boring daily life as a counter to this imagery.
