There is a thing that is more-or-less... TERF with nominal support for trans people?
You see it a lot on tumblr where like. 'OP is a TERF so I stole this post from them' is a meme. where the post itself doesn't say anything about trans people but it's very clearly using the same gender essentialism TERF ideology derives from? But since they don't say 'trans women are men' then it must be fine.
I think the more likely pipeline here is 'buying into TERF gender ideology minus the explicit transphobic parts' -> 'full TERF' than the other way around, though.
