I remind myself that the trans panic exists because people who resent having to do emotional labour to tolerate their 'social inferiors' were deliberately given permission to be their worst selves by the ruling class, in the hope it would create a distraction from all the wealth-stealing.

Becoming convinced that cis people don’t hear themselves speak, that loud music that plays in their heads the moment they open their mouths, or they would surely horrify themselves with the cruelties they describe as cheerily and dismissively as if they were dictating a shopping list.

Figures like the MP in question see trans people as their inferiors and believe they should be treated as inferiors. It's really that simple. To them, trans people are their lessers, and having to grant them even token dignity is an affront to their status. And status is their whole world.
