      TERFs have absolutely gotten as far as they have because to a certain degree they've "cracked the code" of how to appear as a victim regardless of the degree to which you're obviously acting as an aggressor They understand it's *who you are* that matters and not *what you do*https://twitter.com/JuliaSerano/status/1336515747787333633 …

      ...many people have trouble thinking of cis women as bona fide harassers. as an aside, I think this explains some of the QAnon phenomenon, where it's threatening aspects become less obvious as it becomes more & more associated w/"soccer moms" (the U.S. version of Mumsnet?)...

      Ultimately that's what they mean by "sex-based rights" ("Keeping predators out of vulnerable spaces" = "Keeping penises out of vagina spaces"), it's part of their worldview But it means they're really good at thinking this way and playing this game

      If you frame the narrative the right way you can get away with any fucking thing -- and in this case that means instrumentalizing the fuck out of feminine respectability politics Working really hard on letting everyone know you're "the right kind of woman"

      Good God the fucking conversations I've had with well-meaning allies on this website The ones that essentially boil down to "Okay, I can kind of see how TERFs are philosophically similar to Nazis and would be natural political allies But aren't 'Nazis' supposed to be... men?"

      Millions of German women supported the Nazis. In fact, German women were one of the largest groups of voters of the Nazi Party during the national elections before the Nazis seizing power in 1933

      THERE WERE BRITISH SUFFRAGETTES WHO SPECIFICALLY SELF-IDENTIFIED AS FEMINIST LEADERS WHO BECAME FASCISTS IN THE 1930S IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE RIGHTS OF WHITE BRITISH WOMEN

      Lol yup there's the pivot From "There is NO FUCKING WAY someone like me could be a Nazi" to "Look maybe I'm a Nazi maybe I'm not"

      No, anyone could be a Nazi. But not everyone in that category was a Nazi, which is clearly what's implied here

      I'm not implying anything, I'm stating that self-identification as a "feminist" is no guarantee of either good or bad politics And TERFs are the kind with repulsively bad politics

          Certainly that's true, all feminists aren't 100 percent consistent with their politics toward other people

          I think Mary Sophia Allen's politics were plenty consistent, they were just evil

          Do we know that the suffragists were terfs? Did they ever have occasion to be otherwise?

          I'm not aware that "trans issues" per se ever came up directly with them but the specific suffragists who became fascists can be attributed to having a particular emphasis on "law and order" as an essential tool to "protect women's spaces"
