The problem with TERF rhetoric is that it inverts the whole shit about misogynistic and queerphobic violence and oppression. While misogynistic violence and oppression is its own thing due to its roots in women being seen archaically as a chattel class and later a particular underclass in so many societies, misogynistic and queerphobic violence and oppression are fundamentally linked in how their relationship to patriarchy plays out: Men committing these acts of violence is so pervasive because patriarchal society deputizes men to punish people who perform some real or perceived transgression against sexist and heteronormative social conventions.

So, you’re over here talking about how I can never be a woman because I was β€œsocialised male” when, between the two of us, you’re the one filling the man’s role.
