Welcome to r/terfisaslur.

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.

Receipts for "terf" violence please

They really think it's GC women out there murdering trans people or causing suicide because.... Words? Like not even bullying but just saying sex based oppression is a real concept and they are"literally shaking" and have like panic attacks and whatever else and threaten suicide. It's completely bananas.

It is exactly like an actual murder case that came to represent the social problem of racist, murderous police brutality in America and the culture of impunity around it.

Huh?

octopushotdog · July 9, 2020, 4:46 a.m.

Sarcasm. Obviously.

So bummed to see Garbage cave like this, I thought Shirley Manson was made of tougher stuff...

owmygenderfeelsTeacher of Elementary Reproductive Facts · July 9, 2020, 12:13 a.m.

Toughness is just her stage persona I guess

Tweeders55 · July 9, 2020, 1:25 a.m.

Terf hating pays better. Gets more publicity.

Totally agreed. I still rock out to their first album in the shower. And I must admit, quite a few of the first album's lyrics can be related to the gender wars and women's feelings on them:

Supervixen

"Make a whole new religion

A falling star that you cannot live without

And I'll feed your obsession

There is nothing but this thing that you'll never doubt

This thing you'll never doubt

And I'll feed your obsession

The falling star that you cannot live without

I will be your religion

This thing you'll never doubt

You're not the only one

You're not the only one "

Vow

"I came to knock you up

I came to cut you down

I came around to tear your little world apart

I came to rip you up

I came to shut you down

I came around to tear your little world apart

And break your soul apart"

Or, at least, how I've been feeling about the whole situation. Don't know if I'll be able to listen to these songs in as much of an empowering way anymore :(

It prompted me to look into Bleed Like Me, which includes some lines about a man trying to figure out if he’s a girl or he’s a boy, along with other individuals struggling with various mental anguish. Manson said the song was meant to convey a search for empathy, so maybe that’s where she’s coming from in the tweet.

Someone made the analogy the other day that support for the trans movement is a mile wide and an inch deep. A lot of people buy into it because they’re sold the ultimate victim narrative, which could be what’s behind this tweet. Particularly for straight people, it’s a really easy movement to get woke points from because they have nothing to lose in exchange for virtue signalling and therefore can’t be bothered to look past themselves and their own needs.

four_q · July 9, 2020, 1:02 a.m.

Maybe not the right time for that analogy

Simone_Auclert · July 9, 2020, 1:07 a.m.

We're so non-violent and aggressive that they have to make shit up. Threatening to use violence against people is their thing, not ours.

Tamerlane2020XY · July 9, 2020, 2:53 a.m.

Meh, Garbage were always shit. Had like two good songs.

ShemaleSmasher · July 9, 2020, 3:46 a.m.

Eh, they take care of their own necks, no need for me to want that tbh

SugarPlumFairyDust · July 9, 2020, 4:56 a.m.

Wtf? 😂🤣

Like it’s too ridiculous to even get mad. You question gender politics and that puts you on the same level of murderous cops? Okay. Whatever you say, very fitting band name. 👍

bootyinspector9000 · July 9, 2020, 4:59 a.m.

Garbage ✅

voodooqueen126 · July 9, 2020, 5:32 a.m.

Well if they wrote Crush (from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack) it shouldn't surprise you that they would be willing to sacrifice women's rights on the altar of men's feelings

Love when white people say that our views are on the same level as racist violence.

LesbianPrincess- · July 9, 2020, 1:08 p.m.

Yes! They also compare us to Nazis. They say we are all white women or something, completely ignoring that many GC women are women of color.

entrylevelheaux · July 10, 2020, 3:33 a.m.

lol I was literally thinking this... like I doubt garbage is not racist (especially since they decided to use "kneel on neck") because most white people are whether they like it or not. Most white people are socially ingrained to be and have to actively unlearn it and continue unlearning it.

justsara77 · July 9, 2020, 7:06 a.m.

What a dramatic statement, but I suppose Garbage does need fans. When want the last time they were relevant?

I wasn’t aware that being a homosexual was equivalent to murder??? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Snoo-71093 · July 9, 2020, 7:12 a.m.

The clue is in their name

Blaming women for men’s violence never gets old

blihvalsOnce was a human · July 10, 2020, 7:05 a.m.

In one russian court case there was one oppositionist who was judged ten years sentence for literally "hurting spec-ops legs with his head multiple times". As they were beating him so hard, he almost died, but one of spec-ops policemens hurt his leg while doing that. So they put him in prison for that.

And this is literally same thing now.

One of the cops was black. These are not well info-

They're idiots.

LesbianPrincess- · July 9, 2020, 1:07 p.m. · 1 reply

??? What does that have to do with anything? The other ones were racist AF, especially the one that murdered him.

fulloftrivia · July 9, 2020, 4:56 p.m. · 1 reply

"white supremacist cops"

No, poorly trained cops, and it wasn't just happening to black people, wasn't just happening in the context of police vs suspects.

LesbianPrincess- · July 9, 2020, 7:49 p.m. · 1 reply

So, you’re saying that cops don’t disproportionately murder black people? Wow.

fulloftrivia · July 9, 2020, 7:54 p.m.

So you're presenting a question, and answering it for me.

The same exact shit TRAs do when they're witch hunting.

There have been many instances of people dying through asphixiation, because those responsible for positions they ended up in were completely ignorant about the phenomenon.

See the Tony Timpa video. Incident happened 4 years ago, vid was released 1 year ago.

Ball dropped for the umpteenth time because nobody much cared. The incident didn't validate their actual sentiments or interests.

hedaleksa · July 9, 2020, 8:58 a.m.

They’re like that kid that stands behind the bully who never gets named in the entire movie and just says “YEAH!!!” to everything the bully says

A literal cronie trying to stay relevant

crlody · July 9, 2020, 8:59 a.m.

Man I liked garbage, I thought Shirley Manson was smarter than that

myjq · July 9, 2020, 11:23 a.m.

And I did like Garbage...

RadicalFemale · July 9, 2020, 5:12 p.m.

I’d love to see the logic they use to equivocate essentially locking your doors to wanton murder and violence.

fermyz · July 9, 2020, 6:48 p.m.

I am a metalhead and I listened to their music, they are really garbage

blihvalsOnce was a human · July 10, 2020, 6:59 a.m.

And yet, for some reason, crime statistics says otherwise. 20 y.o. transes beating 60 y.o. lesbian because they don't want to see their "lesbian penises" in their parties. Yeah, so much harm those terf lesbians doing to transes.
