terfs are equivalent to nazis to me. theyre both forms of white supremest ideology. as a jewish trans woman ive zero positive interest in the lives of either continuing.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, they both came out of "socialist" movements which they broke off from primarily because they rejected marxist class struggle and substituted their own ideas of "class". for Nazis it was the national struggle, they argued that class conflict was over and that the real issue of the day was between nations. Mussolini was much the same, originally studying Marxism but threw out class struggle very early and quickly veered to the right, establishing "revolutionary" struggle on the basis of said nationalism. For terfs, they substitute sex-based struggle, even the original radical feminists like Firestone, Willis, and others, came out of socialist organizing to focus on sex-class as the primary originating oppression of all society. they argued that racism was actually a product of sexism and often drastically downplayed racism to bolster their feminism - (see Angela Davis' response to Firestone in women race and class, and Ellen Willis' retrospective in radical feminism and feminist radicalism. there's plenty of sources on the Nazi stuff out there but I don't have it on hand/by memory)
both of these groups use language of revolution while reinforcing the status quo, they're both incredibly racist and transphobic. it's rarely spoken about but the Nazis killed a lot of trans women specifically, not just queer people in general. they had a very specific agenda against transfeminity in particular and often experimented medically on trans women. meanwhile terfs are increasingly collaborating with right wing news networks, getting funding from fascists, and copying antisemitic Nazi rhetoric directly. and that's not even getting into Rowling's explicit Holocaust denial.
