I’m waiting for the “Trans Women are Women” crowd to demand that the degrading porn fetish subreddits be removed from Reddit as they are degrading to all women.
Even a single representative of that crowd, several of which have responded to the tweet to complain about feminists.

That’s not the TRA way of doing things. Any complaints will be about the use of the word ‘girls’ without also including trans-, non-binary, femme-presenting ‘folks’, etc.. They have to be included because the sexual humiliation, abuse and degridation of ‘cis’ girls alone is mudering trans folks.
@Holms I know you’re joking but this actually brings up a serious point for me.
The mantra “no kink-shaming” is as pervasive as “Trans women are women”, but has been around longer. I’ve never cared for it but my uneasy feelings about it 10+ years ago have become both validating and horrifying.
No kink-shaming is fine if you’re talking about having sex in a Chelsea football kit a la David Mellor or pretending you’re a cat. It becomes more nightmarish when encompassing abusive porn or abusive sex with your Tinder date, especially if you “accidentally” kill her.
Damn right I’m going to shame you if your kink is simulated rape (or not so simulated from what I hear), or child porn (including computer-simulated child porn) or “barely legal” women. Not every kink has to be embraced.
Claire, the other issue I’ve seen a couple of times comes down to rape, too. Rape is kink? No, it isn’t, it’s domination. Oh, wait, domination is kink, right? So rape is just kink. And there have been a few justifications of “kink” which have, at the most generous interpretation, skirted the edges of justifying rape as kink.

They are probably the primary consumers of the stuff.
