This is an example of how it is that so many people pretend to be supporters of trans rights yet actually deny those rights in the process of being supportive of trans people.

The little-wolf-teeth person is a transphobe. They will argue they are not using the trite little happy sounding bits that they open with.

But let’s look further, shall we?

“Despite what their minds are doing to them”. This is a dog whistle to say that trans people are mentally ill. Given that science has shown that transness is not a mental illness, the point is a lie, and is the way to sneakily open up the argument.

Then we get to the list of things.

First one says trans women are not women and therefore do not belong where women are.

The second, third, and fourth are all tone arguments, since the basis of them is that since trans women aren’t women, their voice should not be heard.

The fifth fundamentally excludes trans women, since the context here is still shaped by item one.

Sixth and seventh are based on a lie that supports the first point and so contextually are derived from there, denying trans women as women again.

The last two just hammer home the whole first point once more.

So the answer to the anon can be summed up as follows:

Why yes, I support trans women, and long as you don’t ask me to acknowledge they are women in any way, shape, or form, and let me co it is to believe the patriarchal lies I have been told about them.

Which is, of course, a no.

This is how transphobes seek to seem like decent people ( deceptive, isn’t it? ), but really are just nasty sorts for whom decency isn’t a word readily used.
