some actual ACTUAL TERF rhetoric (-> and how it's spun by crypto-terfs to make it less overt and more palatable to tme queer & trans people)
all transfems are abusers & rapists (-> "theres an accountability and abuse apologia problem in the trans community")
"AFAB transfems", an identity invented by terfs ridiculing trans women and transfems. (-> "it's actually an intersex identity and you're intersexist to say afab transfems arent real")
bioessentialism, calling transfems male privileged, calling transmascs victims of trans agenda/transfems (-> "AFAB people understand misogyny better than transfems because of experience", "trans men don't have privilege over trans women")
literally Anything around detrans/detransitioners (-> circumgender, etc. they also literally just say the same shit but tme queer and trans people eat it up despite not being spun or sanitized towards them at all. don't know. tme trans people just LOVE transphobia i guess)
calling transfems incels, MRAs, often mockingly as TRAs (trans rights activists) (-> calling transfems TRFs/Baeddels/etc. sometimes they Also just call us incels)
calling medical transition mutilation of your own body etc (-> "there's scary lasting effects with hrt", "haven't you tried just being a feminine man/masculine woman/gnc cis person instead")
trans people, especially transfems, shouldn't exist in media at all if they're not being mocked and ridiculed (-> "transfem representation is taking away our good gnc/butch representation", "transfems get so much representation already, transmascs get erasure" (implying transmisogynistic caricatures are "representation"))
transphobia & transmisogyny doesn't exist, trans people/trans women want to be opressed so bad, etc (-> "transmisogyny actually affects everyone"/"no one is exempt from transmisogyny", anything about tme people having no provilege over transmisogynized people)
transfems are inherently sexual perverts, fetishizing women, etc (-> transfeminist terms like tme/tma actually just about transfems wanting to know what's in your pants, etc)
transfems are invading feminist/women/lesbian/queer/trans spaces (-> transfeminists (usually called trf, baeddels, etc. in this context) are outsiders/psy-ops/sowing division in trans/queer communities)
We have to understand that when we talk about specifically TERFs (not transmisogyny as a social force), it's a phenonmenon that was grown out of the imperial core in the 1970s and then exported everywhere else. A big part of the underpinning of Mary Daly and Janice Raymond's transphobic writing in Gyn/Ecology and The Transsexual Empire in 1978 and 1979 respectively is from the social discourse from cis lesbians regarding Beth Elliott's expulsion at the West Coast Lesbian Conference in California in 1973. TERFs do not hate the nebulous concept of men; TERFs are a specific strand of Imperial Core (especially British and USAmerican) feminism that was made to fulfill the need of cis feminists to academically justify demonizing specifically trans women existing in their spaces.
