Exactly, and this is one of the principal manifestations of transmisogyny. We’re treated as sex objects but also as objects of sexual disgust and that duality creates a world in which many of us historically have struggled to support ourselves outside of sex work. We face violence for it, often sexualized. And then when we dare to have our own sexual desires or wind up with kinks or sexual hang ups they’re pointed at as proof it’s all we think about as though we hadn’t been taught that that’s our only value.
And throughout all of that we’re pushed out of public life as obscene. The people who prey on us tell others that we’re the predators.

As an Albertan, I can absolutely confirm this. David Parker and his band of bigots are busy labelling anyone who is trans (or a teacher, or gay, or supporting any of the above groups) as a degenerate pedophile groomer.
