‘Terf’ is the ultimate slur against women
Telegraph via Yahoo ^ | June 8, 2023 | Suzanne Moore

Posted on 06/08/2023 7:26:36 AM PDT by grundle

Looking back, I now see that if anyone throws the term “terf” at you, they invariably accuse you of all sorts of violence, while at the same time making vile threats to you. Terf, which stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, is not a neutral term or a description, it is a projection of hatred onto women, and usually older women. It drips with gleeful misogyny.

I’m not a woman or feminist but I am trans exclusionary. It just makes sense.

I disagree that it is a statement good enough to be stated twice...

Great. Another term I learn thanks to Leftists using it or whining about it.

BTW, we need to start calling Leftist accusation what it is - slander/libel.

These fancy modern social terms sure are confusing. Even if you gave me 10 years and $5 million reward as an incentive, I never would have guessed that.

You laugh out loud...and walk away from them. (But, be prepared to defend yourself.)

Radicals and revolutionaries are always hardest on their own ideological comrades who slightly deviate or defect.

I recommend open carry of a Canemaster cane. In addition to whatever personal protective equipment you use.

I’ve heard that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has been criticized as being one of the TERF people we are supposed to hate.

I think it’s funny, that Rowling reportedly is quite liberal on a whole host of issues. But, that’s not good enough for the radical activists, who demand compliance on all this transgender business. Because Rowling has said something which was not supportive of “transgender women”, even though she is liberal on other issues, this one thing is enough for the left to condemn her. Even though she is aligned with them on many other issues.

You’re not wrong about that. Note the guillotine on one of their signs. These folks absolutely want to hurt anyone who disagrees with them.

And that disagreement doesn’t have to be a major one, either.

The radical feminists thought they could contain The Revolution to promoting only THEIR perversity.

They were wrong.

Now The Revolution is biting them in the butt.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!

Ultimate slur? Not even close.
Why is it the whiners always cry *this* (whatever the last grief is) is the worst thing that happened, ever.
Is it even a slur? It just means you're not aboard with the latest greatest most extreme leftist agenda.
It means you may just have a little sliver of sanity left. That's a good thing.

i am all that.

Trans Exclusionary... do not expect me to accept you for who you think you are, when you cannot accept yourself for who you actually are.

Radical... i go against the mainstream when they are wrong, and they are wrong a lot.

Feminist... i believe in the power of women... real women.
