"I don't hate women, I only hate women who disagree with me."
The label TERF is being used first to "other" and then to dehumanize women who aren't afraid to speak up or ask questions in order to justify violence against women. "Disobedient" women.
To women who don't consider themselves "TERFs:" A "TERF" is a woman who dared to ask questions or disagree. Are you okay with never being able to ask questions or disagreeing? Are you okay being not a whole woman, but specifically an obedient woman?
It's not going to stop at "TERF."
It's a euphemism. It's more accepted to hate "TERFs" than it is women, but they're really saying the same thing.
ya. i notice they do the same with “white women” like, to dress it up. it can be important to point out racism related stuff but i’ve seen plenty of black girls call out that dogwhistle - bc when a male liberal (usually white, no less) says something like “stupid white women ruin everything” he really just wants to say all women.
I'm waiting for the day a man is called a terf for being gender critical
Yep. He hates her because she's a TERF. It's just a coincidence that only women are TERFs. Men get called "transphobes" once and go on with their lives.
The only "man" I saw called a Terf was female transman Buck Angel.
So no males
This has the exact same energy as "I'm not racist, I only hate violent thugs", like okay Harold tell us what kind of people you label as "thugs"???
The amount of men violently and angrily simping for transwomen blows my mind.
Men love to defend men who are violating women in some way. It's maintaining the patriarchal and hierarchal status quo.
