    Dunno actually. Flat earthers tend to be end is nigh religious types, and I don’t see them needing to dress up transphobia with feminist terminology

      It’s more that no matter how much science you throw at them, both TERFS and flat earthers will do their hardest to ignore it, screaming “la la la” with their fingers in their ears til the world ends. And both groups are great examples of feelings being more important than facts

        Oh yeah, it’s an apt comparison. I just don’t think they’re the literal same people.

        I interpreted the Venn diagram comment to be about the set of flat earthers, and the set of terfs. But if it was about the traits of flat earthers, and the traits of terfs, then yeah, what you said.
