Targeting / HarassmentTRAs: We can't let the general public know that TERFs are just pro-LGB left-wing women or our base of support will realize they're basically TERFs who don't actually need to support us.

Bonus: The TRA who made an unsubstantiated and utterly nonsensical reference to a time when the LGB Alliance allegedly indicated it was against same-sex marriage. Love that they even said "same sex." Are they for real?

I also find it interesting that so many of them know exactly who the people they call TERFs are and some are just projecting their degenerate selves onto a boogeyman.

Everybody is basically a TERF nowadays according to them. Terves, terves everywhere.

And in reality, that is essentially correct.

Insofar as "TERF" has basically just come to mean "literally anyone who doesn't uncritically swallow our ideology hook, line and sinker (HOW DARE THEY!!)", that is inevitably going to encompass an absolutely huge and extremely diverse set of people. Men and women; gay, straight and bi; of all nationalities, skin-colours, and religious backgrounds; and across the political spectrum.

They wanted "TERF" to use as a handy pejorative against anyone who disagreed with them. Well, now everyone's a TERF, because the vast majority of people the world over disagree with them. They're playing it for now (trying to "smear" conservative people as radical lefties and "smear" left-leaning people as radical conservatives, for example), but the truth is that this development is, in the longer term, very very bad for the TRA Bandwagon, as it is becoming harder and harder to hide the fact that concerns over their behaviour is almost universal in the real world.

Thank you for taking your time to reply! You're absolutely correct; it is a derogatory term against anyone that disagrees with them. They don't really have any logic like thinking right leaning people are liberal or left leaning people are conservative like WTF! I've even got called a liberal by nazis and a conservative by commies in the past, and I was a right-libertarian then. I'm now more centre-libertarian nowadays.

I love how these dickheads are saying that terfs are racist and other shit, just cause you say it fam doesn't make it so.

As a black woman TRAs are far more racist, homophobic and sexist.

God these people are nuts.

Anyone peek the ONE semi rational post on there about....uh... conservatives being the real threat. No comments of course.

I've noticed how colourist they're to anyone that's black. They say stuff about black women that makes me really angry as a white woman. Like of course black women are women because they have XX chromosomes dummy! Also, they have many of the female body shapes as well. Men only have 2 or 3 body shapes and they're usually a cone, square, or rectangle body shape. You can also tell that because they have feminine voices, just like any white, brown, yellow, or red woman does too! But transwomen are transwomen or men in dresses if they don't have GID, and they should've never compared black women to them ever! Any black South Indian, black African, and black Natives (like Uros or Wayuu, but they're not African, but more Asian or Polynesian like ancestry), Melenasians, and black Aboriginal Australians should be appalled by their insensitive comments about what the XY's of this human race say about their ancestry, and hope that most of them have peaked by now.

I think the problem is that the tunnel vision from the football team mentality lead to people not realizing the real threat was now coming from both ends of the political spectrum, until it was too late.

Although there are a lot of links between terf organizations and religious conservative think tanks especially in the UK/US.

Literally one of the UK TERFs took some cash from an American religious group, and suddenly we are all alt right.
