      Sorry to hear that. It can be rough to watch.

      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.

      Not familiar with the elevator gate, but regardless, that's exactly why I don't get it: He's supposedly knowledgeable about how right-wing propaganda works, yet can't recognise it's exactly the same mechanics at work there!

      Elevatorgate was very similar to Gamergate, it divided the skeptics community about ten years ago after the subjects of people being sex pests at atheist conferences and stuff came up. It was the spark that kicked off the last ten years of cultural warfare, honestly.

      At it's heart, it was the same fight we're having today, feminists / progressives who want to talk about power imbalance vs people who think those guys are ruining all the fun and taking over the community.

      It's like how if you want to find the spark that lit the fires of TERFism it was probably a Twitter hashtag war that had nothing to do with trans people at all, the #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen hashtag Luminaries of UK feminism getting called out as wealthy, white and out-of-touch

          Helen Lewis personally losing her shit at being asked to respond to this controversy on BBC Newsnight and leading a TERF crusade at The New Statesman as a result This seething resentment of having feminism "stolen" from her and her class, looking for a "safe" target

          Right, this started not with trans people in bathrooms, but with the phrase "check your privilege".
