"Darkly amusing that TERFs claim I should be scared of trans women being violent, when it's TERFs openly talking about murdering people. Given their lack of ability to 'tell' (as they think they can) who's trans, how long do you think it'll be before they murder a cis woman? [context] I've literally never been attacked by a trans women. I have however, had screeching crazy cis women abusing me in bathrooms because they think I'm 'too tall' to be female, and they think they can 'tell' who is trans. GUESS WHAT. YOU CAN'T.

"I, fortunately, when that occurred, was in the bathroom to change my tampon, and so I had a (quite heavily) used one I could wave in her face, which shut her up pretty quick. Seriously. One of these days a TERF is gonna bash or murder a cis woman for not looking 'female' enough."

Some follow-on discussion:

"I understand what message you're trying to send but... I feel uncomfortable seeing 'one day TERFS are gonna murder a cis woman' as an argument when trans women will and do get murdered already for being trans. I experience transmisogyny too as a trans guy (yeah....) but it's not about us." -- adriel beaver (@adrielbeaver), [apparently replying directly to a tweet I can't see]

"Apologies for being insensitive. My point was that this fervour is a huge can of worms they're unleashing and it's going to hurt a lot of people, in addition to trans people who already take their wrath as it is." -- Petya (@PetyaLB), [ Replying to @adrielbeaver, above]
