I think a lot of gender critical people (myself included) feel similarly.
I'm really old, but I strongly suspect, if I had had the misfortune to be growing up and coming of age in the climate of the last decade, I, as a lonely, insecure nerdy girl with a lot of more stereotypically 'male' interests, would probably have been swept up in all of this gender bollocks and could well have ended up calling myself a heckin' valid d00d by now.
The cult-like, Discourse-poisoned minds of the troon platoon, groomed on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr however, and now only able to view things through the prism of their newly prescribed ideology, oftentimes misinterpret statements like this and end up making ridiculous claims that "TERFs are all just bitter, closeted trans men who hate us because they ain't us!"
