Most of the Republican ads do not criticize the transgender community in general. Instead, they zero in on specific wedge cases, such as transgender women and girls in sports, transgender women’s sharing of locker rooms, the use of taxpayer funds for gender-affirming surgery for people in prison and access to transition services for minors, such as puberty blockers.

Kudos for barely managing to restrain themselves from outright blood libel, I guess? I'm sure it must have taken all their effort to resist the temptation.
