I just don’t understand how their allies don’t see how rapey this is...

Because they've been told all the people protesting are evil terfs and terfs aren't people.

Yeah but so many of their allies are lgb, I don’t get how a lesbian doesn’t automatically see the problem with telling other lesbians they need be open to having sex with someone with a penis, or telling gay men they should be open to having sex with a female. Like, I get “terfs are bad”. But the fact that they don’t see the problem with what some trans people are saying even to their allies about sex is baffling to me. When I was an ally things hadn’t gotten this far. I guess I just feel like this would’ve been a huge red flag for me, even if nothing else was.

I had a something longer typed but it could all be summed up with: It's a cult.

Yeah, that’s the only thing that makes sense at this point

I called my (unfortunately still a TRA) best friend a terf as a joke and she literally flinched. None of this is normal.

They're brainwashed. A lot of younger lesbians and gay men have kidded themselves into believing they could potentially be attracted to a trans person of the opposite sex. There was actually some disillusioned younger lesbian on tumblr who posted her story about how she had agreed to date a transgirl and how shitty the relationship was. I wish I could remember her username.
