Fraser epitomises the audience kf Neo-Schlaflyite transphobia. A reactionary straight man who opposes gay marriage and abortion, a consistent misogynist to female politicians his whole career.

Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
