Colour me surprised.

That lines up with my theory that a lot of Republicans are repressed homosexuals. Trans porn is probably the most 'homosexual adjacent' porn they are brave enough to watch.

Just thought of an alternative theory. Republican states may be more obsessed with trans porn, but maybe its not the anti-trans or Republicans in those states that are obsessed. Maybe the reason why so many are antitrans in those states is the prevalence of trans porn in their communities.

Repressed Republican is an attractive explanation, and probably true for a significant portion, but I doubt it's the full truth.
