How did some women become so obsessed with transgender women that became terfs?I don't think it had anything to do with transgender woman, originally. I believe it had to do a transgender men and the 'damaging our daughters' movement.Please discuss.

>>43606821This doesn’t apply to all of them but a lot of autistic cis women have a lot of hate and rage within them for not being able to participate normally in female social groups, due to their inability to pick up on the little facial expressions and wordless cues that women make to communicate within that group, and cannot understand the social rules. They are also often excluded from the inner circles of male social groups, due to being women, especially those who can’t fit in with “the boys” for whatever reason. This leads to their ostracism, so they seek community mostly online with other autistic cis women to bond over hating trannies, who they see as the evil moids that once excluded them appropriating the struggles of womanhood and other gay shit like that. They also do not like or want the effects of testosterone in their bodies, which prevents them from peacefully pooning out, and causes them to pity pooners, who they cannot conceive of as enjoying the physical changes brought on by transition due to their autistic struggle with theory of mind. This is just my theory as a happily transitioned autistic poon, I’m sure its different in some cases.
>>43606821Part of it is it's because they're convinced they're horribly oppressed at all times despite the victories of liberal feminism mitigating it all. They want to maintain all the victories of liberal feminism (carveouts made to try and offset the systemic oppression faced by women) despite many of those systems having significantly weakened over time. As a result, the average TERF faces such little actual oppression that they think sharing a space with a tranny (and thus eroding those carveouts) is what oppression is like. On the other hand, the idea that someone can or would choose to "opt into" being oppressed as women also breaks their brains. Another part is that they feel impotent in actually overthrowing patriarchal systems of oppression so instead take out their anger on the very people who are not only *more oppressed* under that system, but are actually doing the material work that chips away at the systems' roots. A tranny, simply by existing, does more to disrupt patriarchy than the average "radfem" (who are either just spicy libfems, separatists, or literally just LARPing conservatives) will ever do.
