If you vote republican, you’re doing transphobia. It doesn’t matter what you think or feel on the inside, your actions are actually hurting trans people.

When you support a political platform that damages a group, you are implicit in that action. If the result is transphobic, the act is too. Intent is nice but it doesn’t absolve shit in a real world with real consequences. Everyone who voted for the Iraq War is complicit in the deaths of Iraqi citizens even if they believed the lies about WMDs. Anyone who supports conservatives is supporting transphobic politicians and agendas. Even if they *think* (generous supposition, for a conservative) they are only voting for lower taxes, the transphobia happens.
Your position on trans rights is an opinion, even if it is a wrong opinion. But the position of a political party isn’t a hypothetical academic exercise, their actions affect human lives.
Supporting conservatives is supporting policies of transphobia.

"conservative trans people exist" is a grand generalization?
