So who's actually surprised that TERFs tend to get along with the alt-right? Bigotry makes for strange bedfellows

You know who else "just wants to feel safe" so they commit violence against a marginalized population? *whispers* sounds kinda white

They're "terrified" of a marginalized population that faces disproportionate amounts of poverty, homelessness, and sexual violence.

When TERFs say they "just want to feel safe," what they mean is that they don't want trans people to exist.

Like. On so many levels. No.

So if at any point you're surprised that they call themselves feminists but regularly ally with evangelicals and MRAs... that's why.

Rich white Catholicism, to boot.

No surprise, it has its roots in beliefs held by wealthy white women that went to private Catholic school. It oozes Catholicism.

Women are seen as inherently pure, men as inherently evil. It's like, the strawman feminism you see people mock on Reddit, but sincere.

TERFism requires a mystical, metaphysical view of womanhood. It's not based in reality. It's patriarchal stereotypes "but in a good way."

There's only one thing that TERFs care about and that's exclusion. TERF is not a slur, it's an accuracy.

When we push back even a little bit, we're "showing our male privilege". It's a self-fulfilling joke.

They pick at every little masculine physical trait a trans woman has to prove their little theories and exclude us. They are OBSESSED.

I used to argue on r/gendercritical a lot and I remember they used to tell me that I didn't approach arguments "like a woman".

Their own assessments of trans women's "maleness" are steeped in gendered expectations.

TERFs aren't interested in discussion, they just want trans women to be classified as men in every possible case.
