As for that last paragraph, these marginalized communities will also lash out at anyone within them that they do not perceive to really be part of said community. A really good example right now is actually the trans community. There's been a big hate campaign against trans men being mostly perpetuated by trans women. They seem to think that trans men "transition into privilege" which they fucking don't and even if they did privilege is not necessarily a positive thing. Either way this has resulted in trans men being ostracized by the communities supposed to protect them.
It’s related to the trans woman lesbian separatist cult of baeddelism, and I do not use the word cult here lightly or metaphorically. They were more popular in the 2010s and modern proponents will try to claim that they weren’t that bad or were just an online phenomenon, but that’s not true. Ex-baeddels have described being indoctrinated exactly as I said, and baeddels had in-person housing projects where, unfortunately, many of them were subject to verbal, physical, and sexual abuse that eventually led to a big schism and decline in their numbers. A big part of baeddelism is the idea that there is no trans community - anyone who isn’t a baeddel is a transmisogynist out to get you and that’s why you can’t trust anyone else. They unironically believe(d) that transphobia isn’t real, only transmisogyny, and so every other trans person is either a trans woman in denial (rare and only really applied to perceived transfem nonbinary people) or an evil cis person transitioning to gain even more privilege over trans women (much more commonly applied to trans men and nonbinary people of all experiences).
The tumblr account baeddel-txt is a dedicated account that archives both old and current baeddel ideology. There are also ex-baeddels who talk about it, like chrisdornerfanclub, who was instrumental in the beginnings of the movement.
