Why are they so angry at women? This is interesting.
Meeting resistance from the very group they so badly want to be a part of invalidates their «womenhood» at it’s very core. It cuts much deeper than resistance from men, which is almost expected.
In fact, I believe, in some degree, resistance from men can be interpreted under the umbrella of sexism, which can actually be validating. Sexism is a very common part of the fantasy of becoming a woman, according to Blanchards theory of autogynephilia (which is not scientifically refuted, despite many claims thereof).
But being oppressed by men doesn’t help if they are rejected by women. They had hoped their fellow girlies would stand up for them, «us against the oppressing men». This rejection is probably interpreted as an existential backstabbing.
Add to this that many trans women, I don’t remember the exact statistics, but I think it’s 70%, have narcissistic personality disorder. If you insult someone with a narcissistic personality disorder, you create a narcissistic injury, which in many cases doesn’t just heal with time. The common healing process of a narcissistic injury is extreme rage and disproportionate revenge. I can easily see that a death threat might be helpful. If they could, ruining your career would be even better. And if they could get away with it, they probably have worse than that in mind. I think some «trans widows» could tell some stories about this.
So the combination of «existential backstabbing» from women + narcissistic rage is very, very dangerous. Especially since they are actually men.
Anne Lawrence have written a very interesting piece about this. It’s about the witchhunt for professor Bailey, who wrote «The woman that would be queen». There is even a book written about this witchhunt, by Dreger. It’s an incredibly fascinating story. I wish someone made a good documentary about it. But reading the story undoubtedly discourages anyone with a future in commercial media production from touching it. You kinda get the essence of the story here:
