the brainrot of terfism really needs to be studied because it really is something that just consumes people. like there's definitely levels to it and all (and they're all bad, to be clear) but if you look into like the big name terfs, they either stop being terfs or they go insane.
like its becoming commonplace for them to publicly admit that their families have distanced themselves because they can't stop talking about how the scary trans people are ruining everything, or for them to side with actual nazis or pedophiles that just happen to also dislike trans people. or for self professed gay and/or feminist terfs to start advocating for policies that are directly hostile to them because its hostile to trans people too.
and like that's not even getting into the truly deep levels of brainrot when they start transvestigating everyone around them, including sometimes their own parents and themselves. like there are boards and online groups where they will unironically say that they think their parents are trans or had them transed without them knowing, and about how essentially every major celebrity is trans and hiding it.
like its such levels of insanity on par with q anon shit, and someone needs to start looking into that shit because something really does happen to the brain when terfism is entertained and you can't stop thinking that trans people are out to get you.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

Genuine question, but could TN actually help/what could they do in this circumstance? I hope something is addressed though (especially since we do know Taylor supports the community) And actually is there anything we can do to help too?
Yes I do truly believe they could help by at the very bare minimum making a statement about it, something along the lines of “Taylor Swift and our community do not stand for bigotry or discrimination of any kind. It has been brought to our attention that some of our LGBTQ+ fans have been doxxed and outed on social media platforms recently. Not only do we want to make it explicitly clear that this is not acceptable, but we will also be providing support to ensure that these culprits are reported and any necessary further action is taken. We stand with our LGBTQ+ fans and the broader LGBTQ+ community as a whole, and we will do everything in our power to protect every member of our community.”
Frankly this is something that has been festering for a long time, the violent homophobia and transphobia in this fandom has been waiting just under the surface. And the whole situation with the song Betty was just the spark that lit the fuse. This is something that has needed to be addressed for a LONG time and it hasn’t ever really been fully addressed. Taylor has been vocal about her support for the LGBTQ+ community, but the internal fandom homophobia and transphobia really has not been addressed. And it fucking needs to be.

I mean... self explanatory.

What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else
Reminder that Stonewall wasn’t about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, it’s imperative that we remember that.
Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.
You can’t celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.
I've been breakin' hearts a long time
And you knew what it was… People are so blind smh.
