re: terfs, homophobia
@shaderphantom honestly i think a lot of it is that TERFs fundamentally think "oh, we can do that better than them!" as they look at the patriarchy, so instead of a bunch of cishet dudes being in love with their own dicks, it's a bunch of cishet women being in love with their own cunts in a way that is really regrettable
(it also leaves infertile cishet women in the cold but since when have TERFs been worried about hurting innocent people in the fray)
