It harms much more than just trans people. Firstly transphobes think even the slightest form of gender-noncomformity is transgenderism, secondly many of those TERF orgs also oppose other things (wondering if Collective Shout got any money from her, but probably she already blames porn for trans people).

    transgenderism

    Forgive me if I've been mislead, but from what I understand "transgenderism" is a term used by transphobes to diminish a legitimate phenomenon, implying it is a belief or fad.

    Still upvoted for contributing to the discussion and for supporting an alien in his search for the universe's best cup of coffee.

    I know, that's why I used that word in that context. They don't care, they just see someone not extremely masculine or feminine, then think they must be trans. I got accused of "formerly having 'rapid onset gender dysphoria'", because I used to have long hair for metal reasons.

    I always hear "transgender ideology" from transphobes, to make it more of a thought exercise and fad than a physical state of being. "Transgenderism" is a word I've been familiar with for decades but it may have been coopted or is being eschewed now, not sure.
