As overtly religious arguments lost traction over the late 2010s (having shed most of their credibility during their [[homomisia|war on gay people]]), people holding those views have found more subtle ways to lend their ideas plausibility and have reoriented their focus toward criticism of [[transgenderness]], which lags behind [[homosexuality]] in its popular acceptance.

There are also a growing number of self-identified [[feminist]]s and "pro-woman" advocates (not necessarily feminists) who represent themselves as believing that trans rights represent a threat to women's safety. Since these people do not represent the majority of feminists (or even the majority of [[cisgender]] women), they have become referred to as "trans-exclusionary radical feminists" or "[[TERF]]s".
 
 
 
The TERF branch of anti-trans advocacy most notably represents a growing political force [[/UK|in the UK]], where trans rights have been well established for some time but legal improvements and updates are needed in order to accommodate improved understanding.
