    I will help you understand:

    Narcissists treat the world as their personal toybox. The people inside are not ‘people’ to them, but ‘things’ to be manipulated, exploited, and discarded.

    Narcissists also are hyper-focused on appearances and anything that may be associated with status and control, so being seen as the father of a daughter that represents values not approved of by regressive conservatism is a detriment because ‘How can he be a good conservative world leader when his daughter is trans?’

    To regressives, LGBTQ+ people represent glaring flaws in the universe. They embody a dangerous disregard for the social values of 100 years ago, which the regressives enshrine in some sort of misguided cultural nostalgia.

    Instead of simply considering it ‘the way people are born’, they view it as a deliberately anti-social choice taken for the express purpose of the individual contributing to the collapse of society.

    So when regressives harass and marginalize LGBTQ+, they genuinely feel they are performing a morally good act that keeps society from imploding, and the constantly pumped out anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda the right keeps vomiting up keeps the fires of their hatred burning.

    Your child is statistically safer with a drag queen than they are with a priest, politician, or hollywood producer. This is a fact they will ignore as long as it allows them the moral latitude to hate what they don’t understand.
