TL. DR. terfs are transph0bic because if men could change their gender to woman, then their female privilege wouldn't be a privilege anymore, and men would be treated like humans. Also they dont want women to transition, cause they know its gonna make them lose their female privilege.

​

There is a lot of debate about trans rights, and terfs. Some agree, some disagree. However no one really seems to know why are they excluding trans people, or why they want gender to be not possible to change. There is a pretty obvious answer however. And the answer is Misandry.

Feminism in it's basis was about women being victims of patriarchy, and men being bad perpetrators, who want to take aways their rights. Some of feminists say that its about the equality of both genders, but then terfs wouldn't exist.

Just like regular feminists. Terfs show men as oppressors, and women as victims. With the twist, that this male oppressors, who want to take away womens rights are transwomen, who they consider to be male. At the same time they show transmen as poor women, who got tricked by trans movement into changing their gender (some of them even say patriarchy instead of trans movement).

If they would be about equality, then they shouldn't mind trans movement, who wants legal gender change to be possible, because the only thing it would bring would be the fact, that everyone could be treated just like the other gender, thus making gender discrimination impossible. ex: man changing his gender to female, to avoid conscription, higher taxes, higher retirement age, etc. There would be no point of discriminating by gender if you could just change it.

Terfs are aware of the fact, that nearly all legal discrimination happens to men, and women are the ones, who get special treatment in our society. Equality would mean taking away their privileges, like lower retirement age, no conscription, favourable treatment at college, and any other place. They also know, that if a man could be treated like a woman by changing his legal gender, then it would make their female privilege irrevelant, cause men could also get it. Due to misandry (hatred towards men) they heavily not want men to be able to be treated better just like them.

At the same they are aware of the fact, that if a woman changes her gender to male, and is gonna be treated like a male, then she is gonna be treated worse, due to a lack of sympathy, and overall discrimination of men. Terfs are also fighting for this women to not be treated like men.

Thats why no terf was against men not being able to leave ukraine. They were even critisizing men who would critisize this martial law. No terf was ever supporting anything that would be helpful towards men. They even go as far as saying, that men wearing makeup is the same oppression as black people have faced, when white people would wear a blackface.

I really hope that more people, especially the ones who support them would see what really causes their transphobia.
