It's a hallmark of irrational and self-obsessed people that anything that makes them feel bad, or even just uncomfortable, means the other person is automatically bad, malicious, an enemy. Nothing Olivia said was mean or even unkind or wrong, and they cannot actually point to anything specific, but they still freak out and say it's transphobic. Why? Because they feel it somehow is. Because a "terf" should not be allowed to speak at all. Anyone who disagrees with them and their worldview is not allowed to speak.

Notice how they needed to see Amy (who is firmly pro-trans) grovel and apologize over and over again? And it still won't be good enough, years down the line Amy's TRA "friends" will still bring up how she "gave terfs a platform". They enjoy putting the emotional thumbscrews on any women who need to be "punished" for stepping out of line.

They're a perfect example of how bullying and fragility are two sides of the same coin.

They can't point it out what's transphobic because they simply have a huge meltdown that transmen are biologically female and transwomen are biologically male. They expected to see an angry "TERF" scream that transmen would never be men but women only. But what was shown was the clear distinction between so called mental gender and biological sex. Both respected - yes, you're a transmen and will use your pronouns but at the same time you're biologically female.

It is a bit sad TRAs feed these kids lies that since they are transmen then they are biologically male this way too? Jesus, that's really a cult.

I doubt something what requires so much cognitive dissonance and external validation will last long. It sounds like a very exhausting and mentally draining life-style.
