I can think of another social contagion that’s exploded in the last 5 years. However, those that have it are above all criticism except in TERF spaces.

- hezralig 4y agoYou are completely right that TERFism is an issue. It certainly has a rapid onset and has been shown to be a pathway to white supremacy. Terfism is a phenomenon where individuals who have previously identified as feminists or LGBT allies to suddenly adopt trans-exclusionary beliefs and begin to oppose the rights and dignity of transgender people. It also describes individuals who have undergone a sudden and dramatic change in their beliefs about transgender people who aren't feminists, often as a result of exposure to extremist or hateful ideas. It certainly has been seen as a manifestation of prejudice and bigotry and is one of the reasons this commenter is using an anonymous account.
