[CW transhate]

So here's the thing. TERFs - that's an easy one. Usually vatnikoids these days, stuck in a 100+yo suffragette #feminism that was highly appropriate when there still was a Kaiser in Germany, but hasn't since, because it has achieved its main aim.
Deal with them as with any other reactionary (the "R" in #TERF means REACTIONARY. There is nothing "#radical" about these rank and usually decrepit boomer booj.) and you're set.

BUT: what about individuals who claim to be #trans with a vengeance, only to rant and rail against the "#woke #genderism #conspiracy", and who even promote the views of the most extreme breed of religious right fanatics who call consciously #queer people "animals" that ought to be "culled" etc?

It's not a numerically significant problem, but these few people do have a toxic impact at the boundary of queer communities and the so-called "normal" people that is utterly without proportion to their numbers. They are the "good trans" the trans-haters leverage against queers.

How does one confront them? I am always tempted to #deadname them (since it seems highly likely they are not trans at all, just batshit insane - "cosplaying as trans" if you will)... but THAT is a road that does not look like it could lead to anything good.

@iteration523 It’s a good question and well put. I recently had to cut off contact with one of these. Now that she’s a bougie successful model instead of stuck living as a gawky teenage boy, all of a sudden she spouts the rhetoric spouted by the party that calls her an abomination who should be killed. Can a trans woman possibly think she will ever have a safe place among these awful people??! Does she not hear what they say about her??
