god i remember once a terf said something to me like "ur a man that's biology" or whatever and I scrolled down her blog like only like three posts and the post was this big piece about how biological sex in regards to people was a largely misogynistic and racist practice, meant to enforce a sexist system as well as demean non-white people and how a lot of the "common knowledge" we have of bio sex is based on that and not actual "biology," and I was just in awe of how she could see this, understand it, agree with it, but then act as if biological sex is 100% end all be all.

but, it's just like, terfs struggle to understand these topics, they fail to really understand complex conversations of gender outside of "being woman bad and men scare me :(" they get so mad at this concept of trans people existing, nevermind that by doing so they have to be hypocritical and contradictory towards their base ideals.

one of my favorite, and most insidious moments of their ignorance is watching them talk about gender dysphoria. like, every terf claims to be a "dysphoric female." why? well, three reasons. they don't define it right. they completely mutilate what gender dysphoria is and present it differently. so, some terfs do this to trick some egg mode trans people or maybe lesser accepted trans people into their shenanigans, some terfs use it as a way where dumbass liberal "i support trans people" types think they can't tell the terf to fuck off, but a vast majority of them have seen this description and think that they do have gender dysphoria when they dont (also a combo of the three)

obviously this is such a small amount to say on this topic. not to mention how whiteness plays into terf shit, but it's just like, it's literally this fuckin meme
