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."
Please upload images or archived links. It may be appropriate to link to original sources in the comments, but this circle is an archive and we don't want examples disappearing when pages on other sites are removed.
Inspired by the website TERF Is A Slur.

Other circles specializing in receipts:
-
/o/ItsAFetish: documenting examples of fetishism (primarily autogynephilia) within the trans community and discussing implications from a feminist perspective
-
/o/TransLogic: a radical feminist circle documenting the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs themselves
-
/o/Cancelled: cataloguing the attempts (generally by those in some position of power) to silence those who speak out against the queercult
"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

One comment: > This review leaves me with a lot of questions about this doc, first and foremost what the filmmakers’ angle is. Is this a criticism of hormonal birth control from a woo woo “natural womanhood” perspective? A criticism of pharmaceutical companies? Far right natalist ideology masquerading as feminism?
Guess I’m far right now
I breastfed twins for 3 years, so I’ve spent plenty time in what they’d likely term woo woo natural womanhood circles. And while I’ve met women that would avoid hbc themselves, because of their bodies reactions, none would ever ban it.
Maybe there’s a uk/us divide in those circles, same as there definitely is in home ed circles (here it mostly seems ex teachers and social workers, whose own kids have some form of nuerodevelopmental disability and schools refuse to accommodate them, or those who realise educating their kids while they learn along side them on their farm or their art studio, works better for them. And home Ed here is heavily based around home Ed meet ups, shared Labour of mums taking the lead on different classes, and the kids -outside of the ones struggling with disability- seem to have better social skills/take exams early and do better etc US seems to be kids taught religious classes and not socialised with other kids. And unprepared for uni. Generally speaking)
What you describe is very similar to the homeschooling circles I'm familiar with in my region of the US. I think it's been growing less dominated by religiously-centered folk for a while.
Yeah, I meant it very generally, hence that disclaimer. But it’s a general description I’ve seen here from women in the US, with critiques of it. And that’s just not what I’ve seen from the home Ed landscape here at all.
No, we've got a pretty good secular homeschool community in the United States. Two groups of people originally got into it: very conservative Christians, and... hippies.
Yep.
John Holt is an interesting read. He was one of the early influencers of secular HSers.
Can confirm; I’m in my 30s and when I was being homeschooled it was a choice between hyper Christian people who thought dinosaur bones were a trick placed there by the devil, or antivaxxer hippies who wouldn’t let their kids go to the mall because of the “chemicals.”
