(I apologise in advance for half of this post being a flashback to 2015.) I don't really feel like TERFs are real feminists, but that's what they call themselves and it's hard to deny that lots of them are mostly bought-in to mainstream feminist ideology outside of trans issues. In the US we have an organization called the "Women’s Liberation Front", or WoLF.
This is an essay about one of those "once you see it, you will see it everywhere" phenomena. It is a psychological and interpersonal dynamic roughly as common, and almost as destructive, as motte-and-bailey, and at least in my own personal experience it's been quite valuable to have it reified, so that I can quickly recognize the commonality between what I had previously thought of as completely unrelated situations.
