If you don’t like people posting a Grindr screenshots, so be it. But as a gay man I’ve had a dozen interactions on apps that looked like this. Not a single one was a genuine attempt to befriend me. Not one. And trans women have much more to worry about from chasers than I do.

Obvious stuff aside, TERFs actually love women who've committed rape. They quote them in articles (see Cade), they follow them on Twitter (Rowling just did this), and they do apologism for the notion that women can't be rapists (pretty much every British TERF has).

Trying to flatten things so that it's all just a different interpretation of identities is one of the laziest of liberal tendencies and the sooner it's gone the better. All "interpretations" are not equal. And people who are usually against that relativism should know so.

They're not asking trans people to return to some previously used, but just as fair, interpretation of their identities. They're asking them to return to a view that invalidates their identities. That destroys their identities and does violence to their selves.

Consider this: you're just centering appearance as a stand-in for the hard work of defining "woman", a challenge you all set and are now failing. And appearance won't do the job, because gender non-conformity results in misreadings. You've failed to jump your own hurdle.
