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

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
