this is true, and furthermore:

this pretending that cishet people have never looked at lesbians and other wlw-types as predatory threats to poor delicate straight women is bullshit. cishet people absolutely have (and some still do) looked at lesbian and bisexual women as “infringing upon the rights of [good heterosexual] women.” she’s denying old bigotry to kick the easier scapegoat of the day; don’t fall for that shit. 

It’s worth noting that it’s not just similar rhetoric being used, it’s quite literally the same exact arguments being made. The main source of fearmongering these people bring up, about trans women “invading” women’s bathrooms and being predators and whatnot was made against lesbians (and queer women in general) before them, and made about black women before them.

They’ve been saying word for word the same shit for decades, they just shift the target once their previous one became socially unacceptable, and they’ll shift right back the moment they get the chance.
