What is a "TERF"? While "TERF" is supposed to stand for "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist," the people called "TERF" generally are neither radical feminists nor "trans exclusionary," and in practice the term has become a slur. More info.
We're documenting hateful rhetoric directed at lesbians, radical feminists, gender critical feminists, and others on Reddit and beyond.
If you're curious about why certain trans activists are clashing with some feminists, see these resources from r/GenderCritical.
Just more proof that these people don’t know what the hell they’re talking about ever.

Well I mean, we often empathise with TIFs and we include them in our feminism. As a lesbian who considered transitioning when I was young, because of internalised misogyny but mostly because of internalised lesbophobia and body image issues, I can relate to them a lot.
I don't think I've seen radfems talk much about he/him lesbians though?

Because lesbians are always 100% she? If they say they are he they are trans identified females.

I think their argument is that gender is a social construct. Therefore they can go wild with the mix and matching.

Sorry, I re-edited my comment for the 3rd time because I can't make up my mind with what I want to say and how I want to word it... 😅

No prob. I have been bludgeoned with how words meen nothing anymore. I'm pooped.

The point of my long reply was that you make too much sense. These (mostly) young people's way of thinking is wildly different and detached from reality.

I understand. Thanks. It's just crazy that science is no longer a factor in female kids lives. How they are literally will to put themselves in harms way with surgery and drugs to bow down to men and hate themselves for being female.
You forget trans is all very recent while lesbians and gays have been calling each other by the pronouns of the opposite sex since back to Victorian times.
Tweeders55 · July 1, 2020, 9:59 a.m.
So. They knew their true sex.

I saw a tweet the other day claiming that TERFs created the term “bi lesbian” 🙄

I also read instagram comments saying that TERFs created "womxn" to invalidate TIMs LMAO

Oh, well if that’s the case, I’ll start using it straightaway. 🙄

i think it's their y chromosome that does that.
radical__daphne · July 1, 2020, 10:02 p.m.
Then it should be womXXn
ricochetblue · July 1, 2020, 11:56 a.m.
So just complete bullshitting.

Next thing you know there will be a meme about how we started stonewall, because we're all really trans, or something.

Nope they barely mention Storme as it is.
denverkris · July 1, 2020, 6:53 p.m.
Iknorite :(

If they mean that we say that (real) women who are exclusively attracted to (real) women are lesbians even if they identify as something else, then yes. If it means we think they should do it... Sources, please?
lissomelight42 · July 1, 2020, 8:43 a.m.
So not only are they inciting hatred about us, they're straight up lying about us all the time
throwawayrf70 · July 1, 2020, 9:23 a.m.
none of them have any idea what “terfs” actually believe in. if they spent a little bit of time reading and researching i think they’d find they agree with us.
that’s why it’s always “block and stay safe, we don’t want anyone getting exposed to this hateful ideology!” and always trying to deplatform us, silence us, threaten us into shutting up
most “terfs” i know are simply truscum who are compassionate towards legitimate trans people but also worried about women’s rights and see the danger in self-ID laws. why is that so bad?

TERFs also travel exclusively by zeppelin and hold majority shares in Fabrics Galore and Monsanto.
