while i dont think its fair comparing trans people to their oppressors, i still think its useful in discourse to underline the similarities between trans/med rethoric & terf rethoric.
the way i reconcile both ideas is that while transphobia is central to terf ideology, being trans isnt to trans/med ideology. i do think saying to a trans trans/med “you sound just like a terf” isnt appropriate, but it really comes down to wording.

i also dont think its fair saying or implying that trans men are the main target of terfs and so that drawing links between the two in any way is Problematic. terfs are transphobic and so they are harmful to trans men because they are trans, not because they are trans men. on the other hand, theyre more dangerous to trans women as theyre both targeted for being trans and for being trans women specifically. we need to acknowledge terfs see trans men as “lost womyn” and so while it is infantilizing, transphobic and damaging, trans men arent victims of the rethoric trans/meds have in common with terfs (or else they wouldnt share it in the first place)

(the main concern of trans/meds seems to be trans men & so im assuming trans men make up most of trans/meds or are at least who trans/medicalism is meant to represent aside from “all trans people”.)
