@jae this is because it is an inherently inaccurate & oppressive phrase, as it erases our (trans peoples) humanity. While obfuscating the fact that we truly exist, to instead falsely claiming we are an ideology. This allows them to hide that they are genociding us, by letting them incorrectly claim they are against an idea, instead of genociding people. It’s 100% intentional, and deliberately oppressive. Very similar to what Germany did in the 40s to Jews.
