I just looked up TERF. Fucking hilarious, here are some of the top results,
TERF is an acronym for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, in other words - a transphobic bigot
TERF is used to describe cisgender women who self-identify as feminist but who are opposed to including transgender women in spaces they reserve for people who were assigned female at birth.
Trans-Exclusive "Radical" Feminism. A very outdated, populist-identitarian ideology that defines gender "woman" as a derivative of biological "reality" and is focused on fabricating narratives centered around an enclosed identity (of victimhood).
A euphemistic slang term invented by TERFs to refer to their hateful mindset. In fact, many TERFs falsely claim the term "TERF" is a misogynistic slur. This is not new or unique behavior, many white supremacists will insist that " anti-racist is a code word for anti-white " and insist on being called " race realist ".
They're mostly 'old fashioned' (in a good way) 2nd-wave feminists, more focused on equality than 'equity', and most honest, self-consistent, and likeable than many of those who followed (and went on to lash out at gaming culture...) Yes, there's still elements of man-hate, but it tends to come from genuine experiences of violence. And they seem much more focused on serious real-world issues than policing the fictional worlds of movies, books, and games.
You don't have to agree with everything they say. You might be at opposite ends of the left-right spectrum. But the TERFs should be allies of anyone who's genuinely fighting for free speech and against the woke redefinition of and policing of language.
No. Fuck them. "there's still elements of man-hate" They absolutely hate men and their reasoning for it does not matter. They may hate trannies and be "genuinely fighting for free speech" (not true, they want men silenced) but they are certainly not allies in the culture war. They can put on their big girl pants and fight their own fights but it's best to have nothing to do with them.
Spez: Giving them any credibility is exactly how we ended up in this mess. While some may stop at second wave feminism, which is still destructive to society on its own, we have seen and are living in what it ultimately becomes. As I said, they laid the groundwork for the tranny golem. TERFs don't like this outcome and are trying to put everything back in the bottle but they opened it. Let them live with it.
Yeah. As u/ajfofjakf pointed out, TERFs are radical feminists who helped to destroy the stable, functional society we once had, and now they're mad that they're ideology has turned on them.
But what really cracks me up is that TERFs are the only kind of leftists who regularly get banned from Reddit. A great examples is (was) /r/pinkpillfeminism/ - the "pink" pill is the idea that all men are bad, so women should never associate with them. There's a website that caches image posts from subreddit, you can get an idea of what kind of content was posted there: https://pholder.com/r/pinkpillfeminism/
So they hate men. And that was totally okay with Reddit. But then some of the men they hate claimed to actually be women and wanted to join them in hating men. The pink pillers said "no" and that's when Reddit banned them
It's just funny to me the way leftist logic works. You can point your finger at a person and say that you hate them, and if the person you hate "identifies" as a white male, that's fine. But if the person changes their identity you're no longer allowed to hate them.
TERFs are convenient to use when the rest of us speak out against troons, but yeah, NONE of them are on our side. They're just as dangeorus as other SJWs, they're just pissed that the monster has started eating them.
Another funny thing was the "super straight" stuff. It didn't get very big and flew under the radar until TERFs came out of the woodwork and tried to make it theirs. Shortly after, reddit banned it.
The first I even heard of the "pink pill" is MtF HRT. I guess they were trying to reclaim it? Plenty of man-hating (read: self-hating) loud TRAs out there that sound just like this.
idk I really don't have any sympathy for radfems regardless if they are actual women or aftermarket.
Note the subset of pink pillers calling themselves the TruFemcels. These are females who self-identify as too ugly and/or mentally ill to ever hope to have a man.
They hate the 'Beckies' and 'Stacies' with a passion.

I'm not transphobic, I just don't like you.
TERFs can unironically get out.
They're too feminist to be fellow human beings.
They're too wrongthinking to be feminists.
They're too leftist to be conservatives.
They're too "bigoted" to be leftists.
They have the extremely hilarious distinction of being literally everyone's enemy.
IMHO, give TERFs a chance.

When the troons and TERFs fight, I get a real Longshanks vibe.
Arrows cost money. Send in the
Irishfeminists. The dead cost nothing.Another funny thing was the "super straight" stuff. It didn't get very big and flew under the radar until TERFs came out of the woodwork and tried to make it theirs. Shortly after, reddit banned it.

Trans are protected by reddit?
Is it OK if I am a trans who is 100% attracted to women and have no intention of ever getting surgery or vaguely passing as female?
(thinking…)

I'm not transphobic. I'm trans-averse.
