everybody just latched onto “terf = enemy” and then never again put any thought into why that is, and what transmisogyny is, so they just make a big deal out of being an anti-terf instead of understanding the problem in the first place
We’re at the point where any transphobe is called a terf now. I’ve seen conservative men who think women shouldn’t be in the workforce called terfs. Words mean things and if you just blindly jump onto which labels are Bad and treat them all like an interchangeable soup without understanding the actual problems then that habit is not going to lead you anywhere good. Some people don’t care about unerstanding harm and protecting people from it, they just want a group to gleefully hate and don’t care why.
