They can’t directly attack cis women, but if they attack and demonize trans women, they just need to accuse a cis woman to be trans and they’re free to attack them.
i mean that’s an added side benefit for these people, but phrasing it like this kind of makes it sound like they’re enforcing transphobia just to hurt cis women. it’s very much the opposite! cis women uphold transphobia almost if not exactly as much as cis men, and when we spend too much time emphasizing the fact that transphobia harms them as well (despite being obviously true) it erases the fact that the true target of this is always trans women
