What exactly causes a woman to become a TERF?
Most TERFs these days are pretty far from anything even remotely feminist, it's just a co-opted label at this point, with far right conservatives, anti-abortion activists and literal Nazis using the excuse of "protecting women" to direct hate towards trans people.
Apart from those, though, a lot of "old guard" TERFs simply come from a wing of feminism that had/has an... often rather negative (to put it mildly) view of men. This negativity isn't entirely unjustified, of course, but there are some feminists who are just as sexist and terrible towards men, as a lot of men are towards women. And those people tend to view trans women as "men invading women's spaces" and trans men as "traitors to their gender". Because they (the TERFs, that is) are, frankly, rather bigoted.
TERFs are not feminist, they are fascists. Transgender Exclusionary Radical Fascist.
