These people are fucking ghouls.
Just a few more steps and she'll be saying "are these trans people even people anyway?"
Publicly. They already say it in private.
In private I bet most of these people don't talk about it at all. They probably don't actually have strong opinions on the subject one way or the other. They just use the hate to inflame their tool followers to keep themselves in their positions of wealth.
I wouldn't assume that public figures spewing hate don't actually believe what they're saying. Here in Finland we've had a bit of a neo-Nazi problem with our new government (literally. At least one newly minted minister had to resign due to links to actual neo-Nazism, and he's not the only one with links) and it's quite clear that all the ones embroiled the current scandals actually do believe what they're saying. The problem has been that they've eg. referred to far right conspiracy theories like "the great replacement" (ie. tHe eLiTeS want to replace white people with brown people because reasons) multiple times but then just flat out say that they don't believe in those theories, despite – you know – constantly referring to them
