We need stop excusing these women contribution to misogyny and homophobia and hold them accountable.

I agree in many societies women are oppressed but the ones screaming TERF and saying a lot of the lesbophobic things are mainly westerners. They have no backbone and would rather support straight man in a dress fetishising lesbians over other women.

If they are scared then they should remain neutral but to make an active stand against your fellow women/lesbians is weak in my opinion.

I agree, that's a weak action. I'd still be concerned about perpetuating the "women are weak" stereotype, and I think it also trivializes the issue to just brush this person off as "weak" when they could also be: manipulative, uncaring, trying to use a label for brownie points, etc.
