Yup, conservatism is rooted in conformity. “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down” and all that. The trans thing is just an excuse to hammer nails.

That desire for conformity is also why they get so scared about things like the perceived gay agenda. If people are changing the norm, then they’ll have to change what they conform to. It’s why they genuinely believe all of the “they’re indoctrinating the kids to turn them all gay” talking points. If being gay becomes the norm, then they’ll have to conform.
