"TERF" doesn't even mean what it means anymore, to them. It's just anyone who disagrees with their view. That's why "TERF is a slur".

The original context was me responding how progressive gay men gatekeep male homosexual experience from other gays (like how woke gays say that you aren't gay if you don't watch drag race etc) to which a straight man asked me why do gay men bully bisexual men.

Don't respond, or if you do, don't even acknowledge the new question. That's their game. They throw a curveball at you and you start talking about something else, and then they ask about something else, etc etc. Just keep responding within the initial Q&A, and ask them why they are changing the subject. Don't respond to their reasons, just keep bringing it back to the original Q&A.

I know it sucks. I'm bi, and I feel all the negativity that gets slung at bi people, even when I'm not a part of the conversation. But we can't let it sidetrack us.

Don't deviate just because they did. Show them for what they are. Let them scream TERF and homophobic slurs over and over, let them choke on their own rage and harassment, and reveal their agenda to the world.

You don't need to drag your own voice down by engaging with bad-faith arguments. They're just gish-galloping leading to sea-lioning. Non-LGB are finally beginning to listen and see the truth because they're being targeted too.

The tides are changing.
