a brief thought experiment on why i take terfs to be full of shit
let's say i've developed a therapy that will rebuild you from the chromosomes out as a member of "the opposite sex"
no more hrt, just eat the girl pill and your body entirely reshapes itself over about a week

terfs should be overjoyed about this, right? no more "unfair advantages," no more "physically dominant bathroom predators," no more "men claiming to be trans women for evil"
it should instantly allay all their concerns about letting trans women into women's spaces, right?

--or do you instead think terfs would react with immense horror at any such development--recoil as if they had glimpsed a vision of yog-sothoth intruding into the material world?
i do. and that's because terfs aren't "gender abolitionists." their whole deal is loving gender hierarchies and gender binaries, because they're conservatives, and conservatives react with profound horror at the very idea of such "natural hierarchies" becoming fluid and porous
anyways this isn't really a thought experiment. this is a prediction. give it a couple of decades and we'll have such therapies. and i guarantee you the terfs will not welcome them.
more strongly, i predict the terfs will switch from "male biology" to "male socialization" and will indeed maintain that they always only cared about "male socialization" and any insinuation to the contrary is a misogynist lie.
they will always have been at war with eastasia.
