I guess apropos of everything that's going on I should talk again about how TERFism reads strongly to me as "cop feminism" That even if you strip away all the specific stuff about hating trans people in particular, it's an identifiable pro-cop "style" of feminism (and activism)

I've seen people on here using the phrase "carceral feminism", which I'm pretty sure is just a longer term for what you're describing.

It kind of is, but I think what I'm talking about is slightly broader Like "carceral" specifically refers to the prison system and is used in the context of demanding harsher judicial punishments for rapists and other sex offenders

The thing being that TERFs' hatred of trans people isn't hatred of people who have actually committed crimes, but carrying over the *attitude* of suspicion and interrogation of anyone who fits a "criminal class" (in their view, "perverted men")
