If TRAs could stop confusing AGPs and HSTS’, that’d be great.

they intentionally mix them up because HSTS are less than 5% of their entire community. They use them to elicit sympathy from heteros.

I will say, it's an understandable mistake for straight people to make. It used to be true that homosexual transsexual (HSTS) men made up a large proportion of transgender people. But a lot has changed in the last 10 years. A lot. And information about that change, the change in demographics among transgender people, is being actively censored from the media, which is beyond messed up.

edit: a word

Heterosexuals made of the majority of transexuality in the 70's. They were 72% of transitioners (which i found shocking). And this was in the 70's. So imagine what the percentage is now. 5% seems way too high for HSTS now.

I am willing to bet there's an honest confusion in the exact same way they confuse regular people with TRA jargon.

If a Twitter"terf" says straight transwoman they mean it literally as in a man who is attracted to women and who also presents as a woman. The TRA reads that and thinks mtf who is attracted to men...

That's why it's so difficult to comprehend their statements. They also can't understand normally stated concepts so when they read it then try to restate it back it comes out as nonsense.

It's like trying to read a sentence passed through a an enigma machine with the wrong encryption discs in place... Twice...
