    I am struggling to understand the relation myself … in his mind, trans women are predatory rapist men, right? So … maybe the idea is that pro-trans women are enabling rape? Even so, the Handmaid’s Tale is about a conservative Christian dystopia where the rape is institutional, while even TERFs think trans women are opportunist rapists… the conservative Christians are the political bedfellows of TERFs, so it’s a weird example to use - almost feels like an unconscious expression of cognitive dissonance, a kind of projection maybe.
