       three terms that might describe a situation better than "fear of trans people" are:trans-ignorance: being ignorant about, and the experiences of, transgender people.trans-antagonism: being antagonistic toward transgender people.cis-sexist: wielding one's privilege of being cisgender for personal or institutional gain.all four (including transphobia) and TERF require different responses in my opinion. Now you know 🌠

       @polymerwitch I see what you are saying, but consider:You cannot read minds.For this reason we rely on what people say and do, not their intentions, in order to make decisions.If someone questions another persons’s right to exist or belong based on an essential aspect of that person (race, gender, sexuality) then this person is a bigot.Bigots cannot be reasoned with. What you can do is eliminate them.

       @polymerwitch A classic Nazi move is to question someone’s right to exist or belong in a “just asking” sorta way, and then to insinuate that if you don’t allow them to ask the question that you’re stifiling their free expression and genuine curiosity.Don’t fall for it.
