To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

it reminds me of the recent volleyball injury case that went around. Trans student spiked a volley ball into the head of another student (not exactly intentionally) and it injured them quite significantly. Naturally her first reaction was to bitch and moan about it, but at the end of the day, nobody would want to be spiked in the face with a volleyball, from a man, women, child, anybody. That shit would at the very least concuss you, and might even kill you in all honesty.
the fact that the other student was trans is probably more inconsequential than you would think.
I feel this would be a great MythBusters episode: "can you die from being hit in the head with a volleyball? No, but what if we built a machine that shot it as fast as a bullet?"
it would certainly be an interesting one, though if i had to guess, the chicken airplane one is probably similar enough...
as long as you ignore the chicken and the airplane part lol.
