"If this level of naked hate for a group of people seems inappropriate for a mainstream op-ed page, that’s because it is. While open, dripping contempt for trans people has been normalized in right-wing media for years, and while the hatred has continued to intensify, conservatives writing in mainstream papers have tended to moderate their vitriol rather than openly taking the side of hate-mongers. In a normal article of this type, for instance, Parker might have briefly mentioned the bomb threats against Anheuser-Busch facilities, or the harassment campaign that resulted in Mulvaney fleeing the country to feel safe. In this column, Prker doesn’t take a sentence to condemn the violence. By eschewing the niceties of condemning violence she is openly making common cause with those on the far right who are using threats and harassment to attempt to drive trans people out of public life."
