I saw this tweet the other day, and it never fails to shock me when they keep using this argument.

They've been asked not to, and been told why it's offensive, so why do they persist?

Do they honestly think it will endear others to their cause?

I really don't get how they even thought it made sense, or was relevant. To me it makes no sense at all as the 2 subjects have absolutely nothing in common.

They also don't seem to be worried about it alienating people.

It's a bit like saying seahorses are the same as black horses, when they're so obviously not.

Generally speaking there does seem to be overlap between male supremacy and white supremacy.

Some people seem to see womanhood as a prize that they get to take from us because they're more important. The (racist) argument then is: you can't give the prize to these even less important people and still justify withholding it from me

Because they want to be bottom of the oppression heap. They work out who they think most people see as oppressed and try to compare themselves to them and then try to slip under them.

It’s racist.

It's because they seem themselves as an oppressed minority in the same way as black people are an oppressed minority fighting for their rights.

It's a deliberately false equivalence designed to make people think that transphobic is the same sort of thing as racism.
