>>318790I was watching a trans vtuber that popped up on my recommended, and they had a feminist view of society, I would say. Like they would say most social problems are caused by patriarchy, and you know transphobia is a kind of internalized patriarchy, that kind of view.
Well anyway at some point in my contemplation of this person, I categorized the different factions of people who are antagonists to trans ideology, which are the boomers, coomers, chuds, and TERFs. The way I see it, the boomers are the main reason why trans people can't get the things they want, and the TERFs are the most serious challenge to their legitimacy, because the consequences of abolishing gender or making gender meaningless are almost always suffered by women. You know, if the state can't discriminate what is male and female, and a consequence of that is droves of amab rapists are let into female prisons, obviously women pay for that, in a way that's totally asymmetric to men.
There's a serious contradiction between the material interests of cis women and the material interests of trans women, but trans ideologues and trans inclusive feminists just want to paper over that. They want to pretend like TERFs have just been hypnotized or brainwashed by the patriarchy into thinking this way. "Oh they hate being women so that's why they hate us wanting and liking being women" "They're expressing patriarchical values when they speak about how a woman's reproductive organs are essential to their womanhood, because women are just pregnancy bots in the eyes of men" etc. Ironically, the way these TERFs get dismissed is super patronizing and exactly the way women did and do get dismissed by misogynistic men, but anyways.
Basically, these trans ideologues have this view that they are left-wing, TERFs are not left-wing, they've betrayed leftism and become conservative and reactionary, and that made me think whether this was also the case for the other side, or if TERFs have renounced the leftist label and they don't see themselves as leftists anymore. I'm trying to see if there's any evidence of the labels left and right losing their ideological coherence. Are we getting to the point where nobody agrees at all what left and right even is anymore? Where these terms actually become totally meaningless? If TERFs do see themselves as leftists, then I think that's strong e
