Also? TERF isn't accurate at all & neither is "SWERF" for that matter. Feminists who are critical of the notion that sex work is empowering are drawing their conclusions from the average sex worker i.e. trends. Conversely "sex positive" feminists only look ar exceptions: sex workers who don't have pimps, usually have an education & therefore a choice. Clearly the latter are "sex worker exclusionary".

Hey you said it, not me.

I prefer to call them "TERFs" and I do think it's accurate.

By the way, I'm also trans-exclusionary, and I know that sex work is problematic. Most women can't engage in it without being damaged by their experience.

Oh God, the pretend-to-be-stupid technique. This is what I said: You're using the wrong sexist euphemism, you meant to say "SWERFs", not "TERFs", since you're not talking about transgenderism at all

I'm not going to dumb it down for you. Accommodating stupidity (feigned or otherwise) never works. Just read it until you understand it.

No feminist is "trans exclusionary". When the trans movement says "exclusionary" what it means is: inclusion that isn't validating. For instance trans-women are allowed to participate in sports – men's sports = inclusion that isn't validating. The entire female sex is included under single-sex rights that feminists fight to protect, that includes trans people, since two thirds of trans people belong to the female sex.

I'm a trans-exclusionary feminist.

I don't get why you don't own it.

You're only semi-literate, try owning that.

I upvoted because you make me laugh.

Isn't it ironic that you, a man pretending to be a woman, identifies as "trans exclusionary"

I'm not a man.
