To follow up a little on this thread, I'm talking about religious right/political conservatives here. Those are the direct and primary threat in the US, and they're definitely not TERFs. I'll talk a little bit about where TERFs come in, and how they connect, now.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1365991037890662402 …

TERFs always valued women's only spaces as places where women could heal together from patriarchy and reclaim their power, but they've migrated into accepting stricter gender segregation, based on women's vulnerability and victimhood, as the only way to keep women safe.

Taken together, this doesn't make TERFs indistinguishable from the patriarchy-loving religious right, but it does bring them ideologically closer, and allows for these middle ground people with one foot in both camps.

And, at least in my opinion, this benefits the religious right a lot more than it benefits TERFs. Bc TERFs have had to give up some of the core tenets of their feminism, while the religious right isn't making any ideological concessions at all.
