Hey, hate-readers! You're always asking for people to be kind, so I'll comply and give you some tips that may help you to convince people. If you want to refute "TERFs" arguments so much, you should start from the very beginning. If our definition of woman is wrong, then tell us what a woman is. Please, be sure to provide a non-circular definition (i.e. avoid saying "a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman" or similar phrases). Furthermore, the definition should not rely on sexist stereotipes. You may also want to refrain from sending death and rape threats and yelling "shut up" because, when you do so, people assume that you don't have any argument to defend your stance, you know?. Not to mention, engaging in such violent behaviours is very "unlady-like", and you don't want your interlocutor to have doubts about your "gender identity", right?

Once you have done that, you can start talking about everything else. ;)

    This is why a lot of feminists I've connected to on Instagram will send voice memos back and forth, one extra step to be sure we are talking to other women. Are you on Ovarit? I know it isn't completely private, but it is still almost exclusively women and invite-only.
