Yea I was wondering why they're doing this. Like aren't they busy with their war, alcohol problems, and domestic abuse.

The simple answer is: Easy scapegoats. Blame trans people for "western degeneracy", "gender ideology", "enfeebling the youth" and other fascist all-time greats.

That's far easier to do than solve the actual problems of the country.
