#TransHate One of the reasons I could see this happening is that more established anti-trans activists/grifters could see her as competition, a newcomer encroaching on their turf. They wouldn't object to her hatred, they'll see her as a potential rival to take out.
Transphobes are also obsessed with purity and in their eyes certain qualities and experiences taint a person forever. Doing sex work is definitely one of those things. Other TERFs will use this to set themselves above Cade. They like putting others down, including other TERFs.
Not all TERFs will react this way. Some GCs on Ovarit are already hailing her as a hero. But based on what I've seen in the past, I'm guessing the Gendermapper and her friends won't be a fan, because of Cade's past doing porn and naming Buck as a "good trans person".
Like really, some GCs will use her mention of Buck against her. That I'm pretty certain about. Because some of them absolutely despise him and everyone who defends him. Speaking positively about any trans person, even transphobic/GC trans people, is too much for them.

#TransHate
CW Transmisogyny, hate speech, abuse

It’s come to my attention that a TERF I knew from the detrans rad fem community, Kitty Robinson, was one of the sources of Caroline Lowbridge’s transmisogynistic BBC article. Kitty posted about her involvement on her social media. Tweet by Kitty @Exacerbati ...Tweets be Kitty @Exacerbati...Tumblr post by Kittyit read...
Kitty’s been in touch with Glinner, who wrote about trying to get a UK journalist to cover Kitty’s story but failed to because she’s American. Still, it’s possible that Glinner may have been the one who connected her to Lowbridge, who then used Kitty for “background research”. Article by Graham Linehan t...Quote from Graham Linehan's...
Kitty has published an anthology of stories from AFAB people who were abused or assaulted by trans women and is using these stories as transmisogynistic propaganda. She solicited these stories using her blog on Tumblr. YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE DIFFER...we are not alone and we wil...

Prediction: Most US trans eliminationists aren't gonna claim Cade as one of their own because they're very, very anti-porn. They'll use her work in porn to distance themselves from her. They might even atttack her for her work because they blame porn for "making kids trans".
I've already watched trans eliminationists viciously attack Buck Angel for his work. They claim he's "grooming" kids and pushing them to transition by making porn and sex toys. The fact that Cade named him as an ally is going to work against her among many anti-trans activists.
I would not be surprised at all if a bunch of anti-trans activists dogpiled Cade and claimed she was part of the problem because she works as a porn star. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they claimed she was actually a psy-op! They do love spinning conspiracy theories.

I want to say, as someone who spent years using my story as a detrans woman to promote anti-trans views and practices, that trans people are not being unreasonable by being concerned, upset or angry about how detransition is often framed by the media.
Transphobic detrans people go to the media to promote anti-trans theories, conversion practices, urge people to limit access to medical transition or discourage people from transitioning. I know this because I did this myself. Trans people aren't making this up or overreacting.
Believe trans people when we say something is harmful to us. The issue has never been about silencing people who detransition but about recognizing how some detransition stories can be used against trans people and how some detrans people are transphobic.

I know many transphobic detrans women from my old scene will dismiss trans people's concern's about the @60Minutes piece, act like we're overreacting, being too sensitive, etc. They will see the segment as being too "trans-friendly" if you can believe it.
I spent years as a transphobic detrans woman, hanging out with other detrans women with anti-trans views. I know firsthand how many transphobic detrans people hide their true views of trans people, misgender trans people in private and dismiss trans people’s views and concerns.
Transphobic detrans people refuse to acknowledge how they can hurt trans people or what kind of weight their stories carry in a transphobic society. They tend to believe that trans people already have too much power, "institutional capture" and all that bullshit.

By linking Critical Race Theory to "Gender Ideology" and calling both an attack on "American life", Shier proves once again that transphobia is deeply intertwined with white supremacy. Tweet by Abigail Shrier reads "Just as the point of Cri

Ideological detransition/"alternative treatments for gender dysphoria" is basically an alternative health scam directed at trans & questioning people. Like other alt health scams, it preys on people's negative experiences w/ the healthcare system, in this case trans healthcare.
A lot of people have horrible, sometimes traumatic experiences with more mainstream healthcare and then turn to alternatives looking for better treatment. Problem is a lot of those alternatives are grifts or culty as all hell or don't have good research to back them up.
A lot of detrans people have had traumatic experiences with transition or the psychiatric system or other forms of healthcare and are looking for something more helpful. Unfortunately, the ideological detrans scene is full of transphobic theories and conversion practices.
