This argument requires rolling back to the old DSM assessment that being trans is a mental illness in order to justify it. So I expect they will target that eventually.

Intervening with people who are mentally compromised is considered morally justified and is a simple path to achieving it.

A lot of the battle over trans people comes down to the previous notion that it was a mental illness vs the newer updated view of it. If the pillar can be upheld that trans people aren’t mentally ill for long enough then the new pillar will replace it and eventually normalise, they don’t want that.

in order to justify it.

They have power. You don’t need to justify anything when you have all the guns and your victims have none.

They choose to though. The fascists always have. They will make up the science if they have to.
