I read so many cult books when I was detrans rad fem and it "proved" to me that the queer/trans community I left was a cult. Do people not know about all the rad fem propaganda using cult research to prove that the trans/queer community is a cult?
They've read all the cult experts. They read them to figure out how to "deprogram" people still in the "trans/queer cult". Why do these people see the queer/trans scene as a cult? Because when they were in it they encountered abuse, controlling or authoritarian behavior.
I never met a ex-queer rad fem who didn't encouter some kind of bad behavior in the radical queer community that motivated them to leave. That was true in my own case. They're responding to real problems in their former communities.
If you want to understand why some people "terf out" you need to see the problems in the communities they're leaving behind. The queer/trans community isn't a cult but it can be toxic and dysfunctional, it has its share of abusers and controlling people, like all groups do.
Rad fems/detrans people aren't that different from you. Don't think of them as cultists if you want to understand them and don't try to "save" them from themselves. I'm not out to "deprogram" anyone anymore.
I want to make it easier for people to leave that community if they want to and create more pathways for that to happen but I'm not out to convince anyone. Some people will leave, a lot won't. Calling my old community a cult isn't going to counter the threat they pose.
