    terfs are “feminist” as in they don’t want to be at the bottom of the hierarchy.

    but instead of wanting to shatter the hierarchy, they want to preserve it because this way, they get to be above trans women so they aren’t at the bottom anymore.

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

      Lyndon B Johnson

      This remains the cornerstone of rightist/authoritarian politics. Today, we have replaced “colored man” with trans people and immigrants.

        I don’t think it’s a complete replacement. They are going after people of color too. They are definitely going after trans people bad right now though. Imagine being a black trans person that made fun of charlie kirk. Would give rump another stroke
