We have moved on from the “I’m an asshole, fuck you” to the “I’m an asshole, and that’s a good thing, and also fuck you” phase
In "The Inconvenience of Other People" Lauren Berlant points out that subordinated populations find themselves "both necessary for and inconvenient to the general supremacist happiness." The in-group both expresses disdain and disregard for the out-group but also finds they cannot exist without it

While Democrats and Independents who know a transgender person are more likely to oppose bans on their healthcare, Republicans who know a transgender person are marginally more likely to support bans
