Even if you disbelieve drag's identity, they are NOT the reason transphobia exists. TRANSPHOBES are the reason transphobia exists.

Every marginalized group has some faction that is willing the throw another smaller or more marginalized group under the bus. There are gays trying to claim legitimacy by fighting trans rights, and binary trans folks are saying we'd be a lot farther if nbs didn't exist. This is just pandering to people who already hate us in the hopes that we can distract them from ourselves for a little while. It doesn't work and it hurts people who should be our allies.

You mention the kitty litter thing, but you know that was fully a lie, right? It was there in case of an active shooter situation, and the people upset about it weren't gesturing to people like drag, but to furries, most of whom (in reality) are just enjoying playing pretend. They will make up lies and people to get mad about with or without those people, so how could drag possibly be making this worse?
