What is a TERF? "TERF" supposedly stands for "trans exclusionary radical feminist" but the term is used as a slur against anyone who disagrees with a proponent of transgender ideology.
We're documenting the hateful rhetoric directed at lesbians, radical feminists, gender critical feminists, and others on the internet and beyond.
All posts must exhibit "TERF" being used as a slur or harassment or violence against so-called "TERFs."

"The trans-invented term of TERF invites violence against radical feminists and other women who won’t get with the transgender program. Their branding of women as TERFs is a form of trans hate speech that attempts to shame radical women and provoke compliance with trans activists’ demands." –Janice G Raymond, Doublethink
Masc lesbians are “cringe” says a man with an anime girl as his profile pic. Not sure he’s one to judge.
I'm confused; what does masc lesbian mean here? A butch lesbian, but distinct from "TERFs", so trans-identified or pro-trans?
I guess this TIM just wants a pretty girlfriend (provided by the state) who calls herself a lesbian to validate his gender identity?
Just my two cents, but I don't think the people getting called masc lesbians here are actually trans-identified. I think they're actually just butch lesbians, and honestly they might not even be that, they might just have short hair or don't wear makeup or something.
TIMs are quick to point out any women that don't do all of the performative feminine things required because calling these women masc make them feel better that these women are "passing just by existing" aka look like a woman even while doing stereotypical 'masculine' things.
Yep. He’s heterosexual and only wants stereotypical feminine women.
They don't like butch lesbians because they are basically vanilla straight men being lesbian / same sex attracted has nothing to do with it.
