This article shows that organised transphobia is promoted using similar strategies and politics as the wider reactionary movement which has become increasingly mainstream. In particular, we outline the transphobic process of ‘othering’ based on moral panics, which seeks to construct, homogenise and exaggerate a threat and to naturalise it in the bodies and existence of the ‘Other’. Reactionary politics rely on authoritarian tendencies and strategies which aim to remove the rights of certain communities, and as such threaten wider demands for equal rights. They claim to speak on behalf of ‘the people’, in this case often (certain) women, against an elite which seeks to grant unfair rights and privileges to a mostly silent and silenced minority, even though said rights are precarious and limited, and power is rarely on their side. Rather than a bottom-up movement in defence of women, what we refer to as ‘organised transphobia’ is a top-down movement that relies on prominent platforms and privileged access to shaping public discourse to divert attention away from the real struggle most women and LGBTQ+ people are facing conjointly.

他者化、高峰化、民粹主义和道德恐慌：有组织的跨性别恐惧症的反动策略

本文表明，有组织的跨性别恐惧症是通过与日益主流的更广泛的反动运动类似的策略和政治来促进的。特别是，我们概述了基于道德恐慌的“他者”的跨性别恐惧过程，它试图构建、同质化和夸大威胁，并将其自然化在“他者”的身体和存在中。反动政治依赖于专制倾向和战略，旨在剥夺某些群体的权利，从而威胁到更广泛的平等权利要求。他们声称代表“人民”，在这种情况下通常是（某些）妇女，反对精英阶层，精英阶层试图向大多数沉默和沉默的少数群体授予不公平的权利和特权，尽管这些权利是不稳定和有限的，并且权力很少站在他们一边。我们所说的“有组织的跨性别恐惧症”并不是一场自下而上的捍卫女性的运动，而是一场自上而下的运动，它依靠突出的平台和特权来塑造公共话语，以转移人们对大多数女性和女性真正斗争的注意力。 LGBTQ+ 人群共同面对。
