that post i made a while back asking cis people about their experience of their gender identity is getting bounced around yet another ring of TERFS and so far my favorite comment is ‘roachpatrol is a man, right?’ based on someone’s conclusion that only a man could assume that women enjoy being women

TERFS: We are miserable being women! Being woman is pain! Everything about being a woman is bad!

Trans women: But actually we feel like there’s something wonderful about being female and we strongly feel that we are women and we love it when the world acknowledges us as women.

TERFS: You are lying! No one could ever want to be a woman! And since men are evil, and no one could possibly want to be a woman if they could be a man instead, you must be scamming us so you can infiltrate our ranks and spy on us for the patriarchy!

Trans women: Huh? That makes no sense.

TERFS: You don’t need to make sense! You’re men! Men are just born evil for no particularly good reason! Men are born to hate women and make them suffer!

Trans men: We disagree. We don’t hate women or want them to suffer and we feel that we are men.

TERFS: Oh, poor honeys, you hate being women so much you want to be men! We understand perfectly. That’s normal for being a woman!

Cis women who are not TERFS: No it’s not.

TERFS: No one asked you.

TERFS: Also, we are completely 100% pro woman! We are the only pro women people on the planet! Every woman who claims she actually likes being a woman has a false consciousness! Being a woman is pain and suffering and awfulness and the only way to solve this is to commit gendercide against men because men are the root of all evil! If you don’t hate men and you don’t hate being a woman, it’s just because you’re too stupid to understand how the patriarchy has brainwashed you into being happy with being enslaved!

The rest of feminism in general: How is a stance that says that being female makes you inherently miserable and this cannot be changed as long as men exist and so we’d basically have to wipe out half the human race for women to ever be happy a pro-woman stance?

TERFS: FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS! shut up, brainwashed slaves of patriarchy!

this is exactly what keeps happening on that other post, yes
