How is existing as a transgender person pornographic or obscene? Is it not well-known that trans people are generally more private about their bodies and sex lives than the general population?

There isn’t even a cogent reason provided for what problem is being caused by trans folks. Presumably it’s the threat to the patriarchy gender variance poses, but idk why they don’t say that part out loud.

Not by a long shot. Trans people are thought of as pornographic and obscene because most people's only knowledge of them is unfortunately through porn.

Doesn't need to be. The target audience aren't deep thinkers.
