Can someone explain to me why terfs think trans people are, like, dominating LGBT spaces at the expense of all other groups? Obviously the answer is that they're real mad about trans people existing, but what reasons do they give themselves for it?
It's a weird unholy alliance between mostly straight "feminists" and cis gay men, who both really seem to hate trans women for entering lesbian spaces.
I’m a straight guy so my perspective on this will lack all the nuance but it sure does seem like a classic case of some reactionary members of a group getting marginally accepted in some mainstream circles and then wanting to pull up the ladder on those behind them from the outside.
imagine looking at gay liberation history and not entering into a blood oath with all of our trans comrades for all the shit they've done for all of us and the shit they're doing that still needs to be done for all of us :rainbow-has:

Why do they always think trans people don’t want lesbians to exist????? I’ve never experienced this but see that trope often from terf island
CW Terf brain:
Because they're disgusted by trans people, and see trans lesbians as men trying to have sex with "actual" lesbians.
Ironically, in reality they're the ones erasing lesbians
