A very interesting take I read recently:

Trans rights are reproductive rights if you focus on trans men.

It is still the patriarchal state trying to control its citizens wombs.

And trans misogyny is essentially misogyny, so there’s that.

Taken together these two insights leave no doubt that TERFs are a chauvinist movement.

“To suggest being LGBTQ+ is the result of mental illness is factually false and pushes dangerous misinformation. Homosexuality was declassified as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association in 1973, and transgender identities were similarly removed from the World Health Organization’s (WHO) list of mental disorders in 2019.

“These decisions were based on decades of rigorous scientific research and advocacy, affirming that sexual orientation and gender identity are natural variations of human diversity, not pathologies. Leading organisations, including WHO, [the] American Medical Association, and the American Psychological Association, recognise this as fact.

“Allowing such statements to proliferate is more than a policy failure, it actively contributes to a hostile, unsafe environment on Meta’s platforms. It normalises rhetoric that emboldens perpetrators of abuse, harassment and violence, both online and offline.” https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/14/meta-facebook-hate-speech-criticism-equality-amplified/
