From what I’ve seen, the troon’s biggest and most consistent defenders, other than themselves, seem to be women.Could be yeah. It'd definitely add up. I do notice more TERFs fleeing to male-dominated spaces for help than the opposite.
You see examples on major social media platforms and it’s bizarre to see. One minute, you see a woman like JK Rowling expressing valid concerns for women’s safety get readily attacked by other women. Then those same women that attack TERFs will then go on to say how women’s concerns are often invalidated or not taken seriously or talk about how they constantly feel on guard around men because they don’t know who is predatory. They say this while defending obviously predatory AGPs.
Overall, when it comes to a lot of female spaces you often see a decent subset of women regulating themselves and other women on behalf of AGPs. You hardly ever see this type of behavior in male dominated spaces - whether it’s mostly straight dudes or gay/bi dudes. It’s why every gay subreddit actually has gay men on it and most major lesbian subs have mostly AGPs and the few handmaidens left. This is also why general female subs have pinned pro-trans posts and frequent reminder posts railing against TERFs with women commenting that they will defend their “trans sisters” while the average male sub doesn’t.
So, it’s not surprising that they go to male-dominated spaces or create communities like Ovarit that are strict against AGPs and their defenders. I’ve noticed that in order for a female space to survive, it is not enough to solely focus on keeping out AGPs. You also need to be cognizant of the women that will defend them because they often act as a pipeline/backdoor for troons to invade and inevitably dominate the space. But I rarely or never see a subset of men acting like a pipeline to allow Aiden’s to enter their space, gain mod privileges, dominate it by frequently creating celebratory posts about their “front holes”/“man holes”, and having a subset of men help them in driving out the dissenters.
