11. Wait a minute.

We know that transgender people are at enormously escalated risk of rape and of murder. Those are statistical facts, they are not open to dispute, you can find them from any number of reputable sources including government statistics. The risks are even higher for transgender women of color, because intersectionality is a thing. To try to flip that reality because you can cite one twitter account threatening TERFs? That's nonsense and it's not even worthy of the electrons you devoted to it.

"Male transwomen" are not a thing. It's like saying "apple bananas," This is why TERF ideology is offensive and dangerous: it denies the lived experience and the very reality of transpeople's lives. It attempts to create a vision of transwomen in particular as dangerous imposters intruding on female spaces for some vague threatening reason. The reality is that there's no threat to women in general from transwomen in specific, but there is a very real threat to transwomen when they are excluded from female spaces (bathrooms, etc) and forced into male spaces. The real world consequences of this ideology are the rape and murder of transwomen.
