Re what would appear to be an obsession with trans people and what I believe to be unjustified hatred and paranoia. It does seem more like actual transphobia than what TERFs claim this to be about i.e. "women's rights.
I've seen TERFs on twitter justify kiwifarms by posting things like "We need a place to keep track of trans people so we know what they are up to)".
But when you look at what kiwifarms actually posts in regards to trans people there are a few specific trans people who get a lot of attention. Liz, Steph, keffels etc
A lot of accusations are made about Liz, who hasn't been convicted of anything (or AFAIK arrested or charged), Steph had a related conviction for something like 20 years ago (kissing an underage person or something, can't remember exactly what but it wasn't like a rape or anything) and keffels has done nothing wrong other than be trans. And these people are somehow "proof" that all trans people are bad and must be feared and hated??
Meanwhile, just read the goddamn news, there are cis men every day committing actual sex crimes against women and children and being convicted for it. Why aren't TERFs caring about any of this? Why obsess over a few select trans people who have either done nothing wrong or did something relatively bad yonks ago? Are TERFs really caring about women's safety or do they just like to talk about trans people?
Happy to have a good-faith debate if you are.
