I've had Sartre on the mind a lot, and specifically the Anti-Semite and the Jew.
How he talks about how if there were not Jewish People then it would be neccessary for the antisemite to create them. That the antisemite _needs_ an enemy with which to compare himself. One who has no capacity for "good," no capacity to put their supposed power to non-sinful ends.
When I wonder "why do they hate trans people" I think of this. Every time someone tries to be "one of the good ones" I remember this.
