    I’m not defending them here but if this person doesn’t understand that they don’t believe transgender is a real thing and every person who wants to be transgender is really a cisgender pervert, I’m not sure how clearer they can be?

      I think there’s more to it than that. They think those two are the same but not everyone in their audience might. I think the point is to create guilt by association in the reader’s mind. Say those words together enough times and some people will start attributing the assault to the trans woman even if they empirically know trans women and cis men aren’t the same

        people mention trans men when its convenient, and its always a kind of pittying misogyny, and also about how shit cis men are

        joanne klan rowling announced her support for Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminism by making a making clear she thinks teenage girls are transitioning to escape men, which she may have also done if someone had been similarly deceived when she was young and foolish, or whatever.

      Which is so wild because like, that’s a LOT to put ones self through just to perv women. I think it was an SNL or Daily Show bit where they pushed that like, there isn’t a bouncer at the door of the women’s bathrooms, if some dude just wanted to perv on women he could just, go in. He doesn’t need to go and “pretend to be a woman” with all the therapty and medication etc.

      Also, porn exists and is free.
