TERFs do not treat trans women/people they view as trans women as men. Y’all really need to get that bullshit out of your head. They’re a hate group specifically focused on demonizing and eradicating trans women and they’re literally allying with cis men to do it. Transmisogyny, specifically their brand, is not born out of a hatred of men and y’all will get nowhere as long as you pretend it is.
They’re bigots hyperfocused on enforcing gender laws based in white supremacist ideals, stop taking their word as truth.
Your periodic reminder that in people who have been subject to threats and punishment for having emotional responses or ‘inappropriate’ facial expressions, panic attacks look different.
They may look like the person has become calmer and less involved, dismissive, even. Some people become intensely subservient and silent. Some become catatonic.
Panic doesn’t always involve screaming, crying, and obvious signs of distress. It involves an extreme form of the person’s fear response – which can be altered by circumstance, ability, and what they’ve learnt to fear.
Which is to say, it’s not your place to decide someone isn’t having a panic attack, when they’ve told you that’s what’s happening.
