protect the dolls protect the bricks protect the trans women who constantly look like shit protect the trans women who look like they just rolled out of bed protect the trans women who put in zero "effort" protect the trans women who don't have the genetics required to "pass" by cis standards

there's a really insidious form of "pro-trans" activism that says it's okay to gate gendered spaces by "passing" and it doesn't seem like they've really thought about what they're saying it's forcing the most vulnerable trans women into dangerous situations to appease transphobic cis people

it also links into a culture that applies the protestant work ethic to transitioning and ascribes any trans woman who don't look cisgender to a lack of effort and therefore at blame for her own oppression it doesn't matter if she's been on hormones or has had surgery she still clearly isn't trying

the most hated trans women on tiktok are the clocky bricks who refuse to know their place the ones who take up space who refuse to allow others to misgender them who refuse to be a shrinking violet any other reason given for hating them is merely a post-hoc rationalisation for transphobic biases

it's not a new tactic by any means but any time a trans woman refuses to be complicit in her own oppression it's cited by transphobes as "evidence" that they're really men if the suffragettes had been trans women then their behaviour would have called peak male entitlement or some similar nonsense
