u know that invoking the notion of an anti-trans conspiracy to defend a cis guy rapist actually serves to legitimize what TERFs believe about trans women right
Neil Gaiman was accused of assault on a podcast; a couple people pointed out that the podcast, the only source so far, is terf or terf-adjacent; some other people speculated from that point that this a coordinated takedown of gaiman by terfs for his pro-trans stances
"the only source"
also, weird how the pro trans person they're going for hadn't even been especially known for being pro-trans except in a milquetoast liberal sense, surely you'd think they'd go after someone who's a more prominent ally (or even someone who's actually trans, their whole target?)
Right, I think that's the point, that trying to read too much into the terf aspect of the podcast is turning the entire conversation in a more harmful direction
