I had a TIF ask me if I supported JK Rowling before. I played the whole "oh what did she say card?", let her explain what she think Rowling said, and then I pulled up a screenshot of Rowling's actual tweet.
Lots of mumbling and then she claimed that JK Rowling could have said that trans-identifying males were women and left it at that. I told her that wasn't what JK was discussing, and she just kept repeating that line. Eventually I was like "okay have a nice day!" and left it at that.
If you don't do this, they'll give you a particular look that lets you know their brains have gone full screensaver mode. I hate it. It's like, a smirk that says "can you believe this", even if it's just the two of you in the room.
That's exactly what she was doing. This is a really old post that was on here several months ago. I think I remember reading the original reddit thread and it was so, SO obvious she was playing dumb to make that creep fuck off. Lofuckingl . . .
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."

/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 wonât 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 activistsâ demands." âJanice G Raymond, Doublethink
I'd put money on her feigning ignorance. Honestly one of my favorite tactics with them.

Not all heros wear capes.
(Or... were you wearing a cape?)
An oversized hoodie, if that counts.
How did she react when she read the original tweet?

This is a good tactic, it lets them talk themselves in circles with answers that they don't have.

Theyâve been groomed to moral superiority and all adapted the AGP smirk
