The thread she's responding to isn't particularly helpful either. I think the reason some men are criticizing TERFs is because trans people can already access bathrooms and women's shelters and we don't see them committing sexual assault! TERFs are lying; that's why they're being criticized.

That this post was a reply makes it all the more unhinged, because the OP wasn't even talking about kink. Like, at all!

"They literally expect us to switch off our wariness on the basis of what someone is wearing" I feel like Victoria had to bite her lip to stop herself from saying "and the color of their skin" in this one.

JK and her ilk talk in the most curtains-drawn, 23-hours-a-day-in-front-of-computer voice imaginable, a world fully concocted of lurid fantasy, isolation and resentment

That first post is especially wild as it essentially says: “Some men are saying we’re bullies just because they know what bullying looks like.”

It is a kind of different bracket of delusion. Like, OP is speculating wildly on the motives of men she doesn't know, but JKR is wildly speculating on their motives, that they're lying about their motives, that all men know it's true, all women know it's true, and nobody will say so

Every time they argue about how trans people can enter women's bathrooms I just visualize a man who is intent on nefarious deeds, looking at the 'women's bathroom' sign and going 'ah shucks I was this close. Damnit sign!' Anyway if JK is in there definitely go in there and steal her wallet.

Having interacted with many cishet men I can confirm that many either think I'm a freak or want to have sex with me, some are chill, and absolutely zero of them have referred to me or treated me as a "fallen man"

British TERFdom sees women as delicate flowers at best, moronic braindead children at worst. Who must be protected from the potential rapist lurking in every corner (wearing a dress, of course). Ready to helicopter their massive dongs in their fragile faces. Reads to me more like a fetish/fantasy.

I loved @yrfatfriend.bsky.social's comment on the order of, "I see you're worried about sexual assault. What work are you doing against that?"

This is all such nonsense. I'm much more worried about some rando coming at me while I'm running/cycling. I'm GOOD in the bathroom!

Brainworms working hard on that idea that EVERY male has a physical advantage over EVERY female. Is there a penis-based martial art class that I skipped?

this part of the thread was the bit that stuck out to me. like what on earth. hey JK, maybe this guy you know... didn't have any involvement with those books? maybe reading about something is different to being suddenly grilled on the topic by a acquaintance? she's... just so unwell, my goodness

I read his reaction as "tf I know about what my friends want in the bedroom? I'm not having sex with them, not my business, & as sex is incredibly varied, I can't assume," & JK misreading & saying she's the damn Straight Male Sex Whisperer, I guess

I asked my dentist, a fiery feminist, what she thought about trans women in her “intimate spaces.” Was she nervous? Upset by different genitalia? She looked at me like I was crazy. “I never see any!” she said, “We have separate stalls! It’s none of my business. I don’t look, I don’t care!” 🎯

Sure, but that's suggesting that policy be based on actual evidence. They want it based on vibes instead and if you point that out they accuse you of denying their lived experience even if that experience is with cis men.

this bizarre "high status/low status" men thing this person is on is oddly manosphere? like, I haven't seen this specific kind of faux analysis of How Men Relate to Men much outside of it. strange hybrid ideologies out there these days.

To be fair when TERFs talk about "men" criticizing them you also have to count all of us cis women that they call men for daring to disobey their ideology.

There is an unspoken link of thought from heterosexual sex to kink to sexual "deviance" as inherently violent against women to trans people as fetish that's... telling.
