It's internalized misogyny and the gatekeeper thing. In the minds of TRAs, they think everyone who has the GC view is probably white, conservative women (I'm not and from what I could tell GC sub was very diverse). If they find out we're not white, they'll brush it off as they don't know any better, they're just uncivilized (colonialist attitude much?) when in fact any country not in the west is GC, even in the west, only the left is GC. I see TiMs debate men all the time with bad science and logic, but any woman who expresses the same thing is met with the t-word. It's the only form of misogyny that the left approves of now, so they really have at it.

As real women we have the power to define the word woman. Deep down, they know they're not female and they'll attack everyone who breaks their fantasy. They can scream TWAW as much as they want, but they're not going to be if real women don't accept it. But if real women stay silent, they can demand as much as they want without any pushback. The new Stonewall leader said she's not going to make converting people over to their gender view a priority as her predecessor had, and this only happened because UK women said no.

Very well said. I saw that piece about Stonewall in the news.
