I hate transphobic people in any shape or form, but you really are blind if you don't notice how much power the terfs have as a group. It's nothing compared to the average transphobic cis-naturalist. Sure, I hate them too, but the GC movement really rose because of their support. As women, they belong to a marginalized group because of sexism, so people and organizations will believe them when they make us look bad. And to see people in this thread say that hating them is misogynistic, honestly... That's probably the worst position I've ever seen. I put terfs in the same group as rapists, rapists, pedophiles. Sure, they don't physically destroy lives. But they prey on probably the most oppressed group, an extremely vulnerable group of women, and even trans men, etc. Through speech, mental and emotional abuse, gaslighting, through this they seek and destroy tens of thousands or maybe even millions of lives. It is not oppression if you condemn fascists. I also don't feel sorry for racists. And if you defend them, I bet you will do the same for people like that. I hate terf because it is treason. You'd think that from a marginalized group to another, they'd be able to understand what it's like to be belittled or held back by society. But no. Turfs are misogynists because they target a group of women themselves, and defending them seems a bit sexist to me. They are guilty of many, if not most of the same crimes as their original oppressors, whose victims were women. They lose all responsibility.

    I don't disagree, but who's saying that hating TERFs is misogynistic, besides TERFs giving the accusation in bad faith?

      TERFs call anyone who criticizes them misogynist, it's a conditioned reflex.

      And up until recently, it worked. Thus they got very lazy and think they don't need to make any arguments or convince people. Just post a selfie taking a self-satisfied sip out of the coffee cup that says MISOGYNIST TEARS and /thread.
