The underlying basis of TERF ideology

Something suddenly occurred to me about TERF rhetoric.

Basically, they think that if you’ve gone through puberty with typical male testosterone levels and have been socialized as male growing up, you’re irreversibly violent, especially against women. They quote some studies regarding trans criminality, often overlooking the issue of anti-sex worker laws and discrimination in general.

Now that alone is bad enough, but then there’s another element I’ve noticed.

I’ve seen comments made by TERFs about who’s ‘really behind’ the ‘trans agenda’, and siding with platforms like KiwiFarms in order to bash trans women—the reasoning behind it is that KF are openly misogynistic, while ‘TIMs’ are apparently ‘covert’ agents undermining women.

Hm.

Ideas based on shoddy interpretation of research and evidence regarding contamination from an inherently different demographic that is trying to undermine another demographic perceived as mostly pure (except not really) through an insidious agenda to be wary of that involves trying to pass as true members of the demographic they’re trying to infiltrate…?

Now where have I heard all of that before?… Ah yes.

TERF ideology is repurposed anti-Semitism.
