At the end of the documentary, he was scheduling his vagina surgery.

That's not vagina surgery. It's penis multilation surgery.

They called it "gender affirmation" surgery. It sounds so very 1984 NuSpeak to me. We used to call it "sex change operation" back in the day and even then, we all knew it was just an operation to remove perfectly healthy parts and swap them out with franken-parts.

Ugh. Something liberals are uniquely guilty of - certainly more so than conservatives - is this employment and manipulation of language to covey a certain morality. It's designed to prod those who are uninformed or ambivalent about the topic, or to nudge those who might fall on the right or center-right on a certain position. TERF, marriage equality, gender affirmation to me are such grossly subjective terms that liberals shoehorn in the discourse as the natural and objective, even correct way of describing these things.

The notion that "TERFs" are radical is debatable. The notion that same-sex marriage is a necessary part of equality is debatable. And what well-intentioned human WOULDN'T want to affirm another person? But to force these terms in the discourse as the true nomenclature is a manipulative albeit effective tactic employed by the Left.

The notion that “TERFs” are radical is debatable.

One of my favorite internet moments is when JKR released her essay and one of the top responses was a transman announcing that she and her husband are gay couple. The overwhelming majority of the responses to it were befuddled straight people being like “uh, I can’t think of anything straighter than penis and vagina. No, you aren’t gay.”

What TRAs are calling TERFs is no where near radical—it’s what the majority of people understand. Most people get what homosexuality is. Most people understand that there are two sexes, only women menstruate, and men are the physically stronger sex. It’s TRAs who are the radical ones.

Well, TERF I think originally meant legitimate radicals, like the "Kill All Men!!!" crowd. Now, that term has been thrown around more than Nazi to the point that calling someone a TERF says more about the accuser than the accused

Nowadays - just saying that you are lesbian is enough to be called TERF.

Just saying that there are two sexes male and female is enough. This is where I got my first TERF flung at me at Reddit.

No.It was always a newspeak term for any woman who refused to accept transwomen as women.The first time it was used,was in an anti_Mitchfest article written by a begrudged TRA.
