    Casual transphobia on reddit is fucking awful. There used to be a sub for basically complaining about period cramps and other pms symptoms. Then someone made a post saying that it's insulting to women to refer to people who get period as "people who menstruate/people who get periods" because only women get periods. All the comments explaining why transmen/intersex people wouldn't like that were downvoted and it was just really fucking gross.

    Shit like that shows the difference between a TERF and just a transphobe and the different tactics they use to be transphobic. TERFS use women as a shield for their transphobia while transphobes are more outright with it. People who are less aware might get sucked into TERF rhetoric thinking they're being a feminist.

      Terfs are so fucking repulsive because they really don’t give a shit about women or gay people. They just pretend that they do so they can be transphobic.
