Transphobe

The label 'transphobe' functions as a snarl word, similar to terms like 'Wog' (Suppressive Person) in Scientology or 'Glober' in Flat-Earth communities. These labels are used to frame outsiders or critics as 'heathens' or, in this case, as 'The Boogeyman.' This form of outsider labeling is designed to equate criticism of the belief system with harassment, fostering a narrative of fraudulent victimhood to shame and silence dissenters. In this context, rejecting transgender ideology is often framed as bigotry, while the belief system itself requires the denial of biological science and reliance on numerous logical fallacies, much like the way flat-earthers deny established physics. In both cases, these labels serve to discredit criticism, reinforcing the belief system by positioning science denial as a marker of 'the other' and by requiring followers to embrace false reasoning. While the Flat-Earth movement tends to be more passive and tolerant of outsiders, transgender ideology is often more aggressive and intolerant of dissent.
