Modern estimates are that the total ratio of convicted witches by recorded sex is 75% women 25% men, for what it's worth "Oh it was only four people" is kind of gratuitously shitty if you're actually pretending to care about a historical injustice

You don't need to understand trans women to hate them, in fact it helps if you don't You just need to believe that, men being superior to women, a "man trying to pretend to be a woman" is contemptible and perverse, reflecting some great failure of character

Which was an extremely common and normative belief within patriarchy and is one that TERFs transparently share The idea that a member of the stronger sex disguising themselves as a member of the weaker must be playing some kind of cheat, a deception or sick prank

The *asymmetry* with which transphobes generally view trans people is instructive here, whether or not the transphobe in question identifies as a conservative Christian or radical feminist Pity and condescending concern for trans men, revulsion and contempt for trans women

Because, well, they think men are superior to women A trans man is like a peasant trying to dress up as a noble to steal a seat at the feast, a trans woman is like a noble slumming it as a peasant as some kind of sick game
