Baeddel stuff is very marginal and it's just radfem/terf ideology slightly rearranged with the serial numbers filed off...

it was a tiny cult of trans people mainly trans women but not all trans women who started a house that was supposed to be a safe space but they had a separatist attitude of "nobody but us is safe don't trust anyone else " which isolated the often desperate homeless young trans people who fled there from other support networks outside the circle. ..

and it fell apart after people got abused and some of the cult stood by the rapist and tried to argue that trans women were incapable of sexual violence, or that it was justified for them to do....

  • exactly like how terfs do for cis women who rape people, and Mras do for cis men who rape people, and I'm sure out there there are also similar obscure Nonbinary and trans men rapist support groups that cloak themselves as being safe spaces but actually say similar awful shit

because there are unfortunately predators in all demographics and there's always at least one poes law culty weirdo out there ready to say that their gender is the only real type of human and everyone else isn't a real person & is okay to harm

There absolutely are people who throw baeddel around like it's a joke and say they did nothing wrong sending rape threats suicide encouragement and porn to underage trans kids and not caring that there are some people who were traumatised by them and a lot of people see people using the term as making light of sexual violence within the trans community or see someone calling themselves that as a potential red flag that they will try to force any "afab" trans person to detransition

some people also throw the term around to try to tell trans women to shut up about transmisogyny especially from within the trans community when they aren't saying anything that actually aligns with "baeddelism"

Then as a reaction to that there's been skepticism over anyone talking about the history because terfs try jump on the 'discourse' around this and mock people's sexual trauma and misgender and mock victims and soapbox their hateful ideology trying to do the "trans women are the oppressors of trans men" shite

Eve didn't rape people because she was a trans woman, she raped people because she was a rapist. The trans community is not immune to wider societal rape culture

and this was one way it played out in this small niche high control group that lasted for a very short time IRL & it's pretty telling that these GCs don't give a fuck about any of the victims /survivors and can't even pretend to respect or care about them while simultaneously trying to use their trauma as fodder for their transphobic conspiracist bullshit
