Hating TERFs is meaningless if you don't materially support transfeminine people. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. https://twitter.com/maidensblade/status/1380368261452288006

Over the past year I have seen more than one person unironically say than trans masculine people are the primary targets of TERFs and it's hard not to be upset about that ignorance, I can't lie.

And don't get me wrong! The infantilization and the false pity suck! ROGD is an awful new vector of transphobia that is, indeed, primarily directed against young trans masculine and AFAB non-binary folks.

But it's not the same.

And it is NOT very historically aware as a take.

Gosh all you have to do is go into the replies of a thread their particular brand of hate is infesting, and look at the violence. It's ugly. I don't recommend it.

The violence they ascribe to transfeminine people and the violence they fantasize about DOING to transfeminine folks

And, like, listen:

I say it all the time. "Nobody wins at the Oppression Olympics, we should all stop entering."

But if we aren't honest about who the targets of hate are, we cannot properly defend those targets from that hate.

TERFs primary targets are transfeminine people.
