> I think the reason that you don't get a lot of pushback is that accusations of racism, transphobia, ableism, etc. are completely toxic, no matter how bullshitty they are. I see the tide is starting to turn a bit on this, these accusations don't have the same power that they used to. Probably because of far too many "boy who cried wolf" situations. For example, women saying that they want to keep female-only spaces for their dignity and safety are often accused of being transphobic. Many are shrugging that off and saying: if that's transphobia then so be it, proves my point. And increasingly, people are agreeing with them.
