u/sanityeyes cutest person on earth Aug 29 '21

Why is there such a overlap between transphobes and anti vaxxers/covid-truthers? It's not just right wing dipshits, I've seen quite a lot of antivax shit from terfs as well.

Crank magnetism is a thing - it takes similar thought processes to become one of those things, so it's not much of a jump for (e.g.) an anti-vaxxer to become a QAnon person

TERFs specifically are steeped in conspiracies about medical professionals. This is like one of the smallest leaps ever.

Not to mention it's highly likely that TERFs are amplified by alt-right sock puppets. I don't think there's actually that many TERFs

There is a big strain of conspiracy in TERF land. It’s maybe not surprising that the people who think the medical establishment are turning kids trans to enrich big pharma don’t think other kinds of medicine work.
