It is illegal for anyone in a courtroom - be it judge, attorney, defendant, or juror - to argue for jury nullification of a law. Why? Because jury nullification was often argued to all-white juries by white attorneys of white defendants who were accused or murdering a non-white person. It was used to allow murderers to walk.

It is legal to find a defendant guilty or not guilty. It is illegal to argue that the law is unjust and should not be enforced.

a bit

Oh, no. More. Much, much more than just a bit.

It's been an expression of far right extremism, and comorbid with violent antisemitism, White Identity Extremism, misogyny, Islamophobia, etc for decades in general as a hatred of LGBTQ people, and specifically targeted for about a decade because of funding from right wing religious hate groups for TERFs & TERF groups, to act as a front for the right wing religious hate groups, to disguise their influence. They started before Obergefell was decided.

Reddit used to have very many subreddits that existed to platform hatred of transgender people. They all had significant support from, or operation by, violent white supremacists.

The white supremacists loved to stoke TERF hate, because the white supremacists wanted cis lesbians attacking trans women, and vice versa, instead of paying attention to the real problem - the intense misogyny and homophobia of the fascist groups gaining power and influence.
