I just don't know that "These people aren't even X" instead of "These people are bad examples of X who give X a bad name" is a useful way to argue Like the former seems to much more readily turn into an academic debate where once you say it you don't have to do anythinghttps://twitter.com/9BillionTigers/status/1272279357340348416 …

You have people like Rod Dreher approvingly citing The Transsexual Empire and talking about "male-pattern violence" and whatnot The fact that this is in many ways a blatantly disingenuous, manipulative play doesn't matter, it works really well

The transphobes are consciously all in on this strategy to use "feminism" as a meme to split the liberal/left political coalition and isolate trans people and their allies It has worked *spectacularly* well in the UK for a lot of reasons specific to UK feminism as a culture

Aren't TERFs transphobes?

I have recently seen the abbreviation TERF being used where the person in question was not particularly feminist, at least no more feminist than the mainstream opinion. 'Transphobe' would have worked better, but I guess in the world of SOs, PDAs, and others abbreviation are hip.
