      TERFs are quite literally what the UK has instead of the Religious Right, and they are in some ways more dangerous precisely because as a social identity they blend in so much better with "respectable liberals" in media and academia etc.

      But I mean Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull was a general right-wing crank for years -- including being anti-gay and especially being anti-immigration and "sounding the alarm" on "Muslim rape gangs" -- but it was the TERF shit that really launched the Posie Parker brand

      They spent the past couple days incessantly attacking a gay man for daring to assert he has the right to have kids with his husband The rightward march is proceeding well apace

      Inevitable for ages but as soon as "at least the tories are right about this" started the end was in sight. Same as radicalised racists who went right. First "reasonable concerns", then "the left abandoned us", then "right about one or two things", then marching with Tommy.

      I fear a friend's husband has started down exactly this path, and somehow no one is taking *my* concerns seriously. The irony!

      I just wish I could do something to stop it, but since I'm trans myself, I have made the decision to completely cut him from my life in order to protect my mental wellbeing 😔

      Sometimes that's all you can do. It sucks, and so much radicalisation relies on the narrative that the one being turned has been given secret information *THEY* don't want you to know, that interceeding becomes impossible anyway because your criticism validates the narrative.

      Oh, totally. My cutting him off will most certainly be framed as me trying to silence him, too. The really sad part is he's widely known to be a 'rational' person who 'relies on facts' to reach a conclusion. Meaning my concerns are dismissed even more easily.

      I don't think it's the cause of TERFism but the British TERFs absolutely learned to talk the way they do from the cultural power the "skeptics movement" had in the UK

          Absolutely, there's two transphobic cliques in the UK. The first is the Posie Parker troupe, old school homophobes. The second is the academic transphobia community, and the venn diagram between them and the UK skeptic community is practically a circle.

          But I also don't think skepticism is to blame. The same skeptics that are jumping on board transphobia now, rejected identical faulty reasoning during the elevatorgate controversy.

          Absolutely yes. It empowered so many of my peers (am 38) to consider themselves clever, and it repeatedly taught them that empathy was for the weak.

          Yep, that sounds just like him. Proud of being oh-so-rational, too. While completely ignoring that his transphobia is rooted in irrational fear of something he doesn't understand because it doesn't relate to his life experience - which, of course, is the only valid one.

          Oh, he definitely falls under the skeptics movement!
