TERF: transgender exclusionary radical feminist

To which we would need to further provide definitions for each of those words, though they do not have static definitions.

Using acronyms such as this, are off hand forms of Newspeak. Don't support the use of newspeak by using them in your dialect. It muddies your message, and dumbs down your own thoughts. Speak them out fully, or your message will be lost to those who support short form thinking. Or worse of all, inline with Newspeak, you will say one thing, and all those who read your comments will interpret your statements to support whatever narrative they already assume to be true.

Using these acronyms will literally cause words to lose all meaning.

Thank you for pointing out Chipit's use of Newspeak. I tried to add some complexity to my position, but once people start screeching acronyms, the conversation is generally done.

Don't reply to acronyms, don't use them, don't incorporate them into your dialect. Think out your comments in lieu of acronyms, as though a math equation. Substitute your own words, for the ones without static meaning, and solve for X.

Hint: This level of mental or physical editing is highly difficult to perform on a phone.

it may be done with Chipit, but others here still value your insight.
