#peakterf is managing the cognitive dissonance to state simultaneously that trans women aren't women, AND that ~some~ trans women aren't the problem in bathrooms. This is 100% based on passability as a woman, in turn based on idealized beauty standards. Such rad, v. feminist. 1/x 
Here's the lovely part. Let's say for a sec that hormonal transition is minimum required to make a trans person even provisionally valid (which it totally fucking isn't, but it seems to be in their heads, so). They're also vehemently opposed to children who know they're trans 2/x
doing anything remotely related to transition, even just taking puberty blockers (NOT trans hormones) while they figure it out, as well as backing shitty rhetoric that requires trans folks to be massively dysphoric—and KNOW it, which not all of us do—to seek any kind of care. 3/x
