Can we stop using the term “TERF”? It doesn’t mean anything at this point. The transphobic assholes on X certainly aren’t radical feminists.
We need to make FARTs - Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes - stick instead
Excellent
OMG I have to use that.
i prefer to call them divorced losers whose children hate them

I’d like to call em that, but this has changed my mind.
What is a TERF?
Trans Excluding Radical Feminist. It’s a rabbit hole and it’s not much fun past the first 100 meters.
the tl;dr is that they are not really feminists, and they use feminist-sounding rhetoric to justify anti-trans views, they’re basically just anti-trans activists.
For more rabbit-hole, ContraPoints has a video about “Gender Criticals” (synonymous with TERF): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pTPuoGjQsI
Her video on JK Rowling would be a good follow-up.
A “feminist” that claims to support gender equality, but thinks trans folk should diaf.
The issue with the term is that radical feminism is transphobic by definition so why specify “trans exclusionary”
Excluding trans folk is what makes these specific feminists radical. Their beliefs, otherwise, are fairly mainstream feminist.
The core idea of radical feminism is that humanity is divided into two groups - male (ontologically evil, sexual predators from birth) and female (weak, incapable of harm, in need of protecting) while some radical feminists define these groups as being based in assigned sex, and others define them by gender identity, it’s the ideology as a whole that is transphobic, and harmful in many other ways It is far from typical feminist beliefs. Thty advocate for things such as female seperatism, and killing all those they consider men or culling them to a small population to be kept only for breeding.
Why do so many people think they MUST be heard? 😆 That’s one of the reasons I deleted Reddit. Too many weirdos thinking that I owed them a debate or something whenever I commented something they disagreed with. It happened on Twitter too but I got rid of that when musk announced that he was going through with the purchase.
I DISAGREE with you. YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER AN EPIC DEBATE TO THE DEATH WITH ME BECAUSE REACHING A CONSENSUS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE INTERET!!!
(((((((((((((((((/s (in case it wasn’t obvious))))))))))))))))))
The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.
because so much of conservative thought is about having captive audiences; look at how much they try to whine when they get protested at a school campus.
Moreover, Bluesky already feels a bit like how social media would look if a non-TERF version of the Guardian was running it. It’s very liberal, very centrist, and very ‘don’t rock the boat too much’.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this, and for the moment we’ll be posting to both Twitter and Bluesky. We look forward to engaging with you wherever you end up.
“we’re not ready to choose between the cop bar and the Nazi bar, so for now we’ll keep hanging out in both.”
Of course they don’t mention fediverse as an option. Of course.
right wing accounts are learning that they’re nothing without constant rage bait interactions.
Americans are funny.
*Here let’s abandon the ZA fascist owned social media and move to the Russian fascist owned social media.
Reality does trump fiction.
Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?
Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.
Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.
Russian fascist owned? What are you talking about?
Probably confused with criminal endorsed Telegram
we’ve become this tech illiterate to not understand the possibility of mastodon being a option.
Does this belong in technology?
Holy cow, what a Bluesky shill account.
