I don't like the histrionics of the Résistance Lesbienne.

The guy lit a road flare and he isn't shown attempting to touch anyone with it. He sort of waved it in front of himself to back people off, which is dangerous and irresponsible, but was he trying to burn lesbians? No.

«...noues ont agressées avec une arme» No. That is a dishonest misrepresentation of what happened. He was acting out to try to grab attention and disrupt their protest. He was careless with a burning object. That's already bad behavior, why exaggerate?

I speak French fairly well and I'm also not happy with some of the dehumanizing language being thrown around on the Résistance Twitter account. "Mascu," "hétéra," there are normal words already for these people, you don't need labels to communicate disdain.

What do those mean?

Mascu is apparently r/feminisme slang for masculiniste, or Men's Rights Activist. It read as masculin to me, I thought they were calling the transwomen butch. I should have Googled that one earlier. Seems to be an equivalent to TRA, definitely pejorative.

Hétéra is the female version of hétéro, straight. They referred to the females counterprotesting with the transwomen as hétéras essentially as an insult- you think you're gay but you aren't. Definitely derogatory.

Huh? As far as I know, those terms are feminist, uh, quirks? Basically feminising every word (noues instead of nous for example, ect)

Some feminist hetero women call themselves hetera lol. It's not derogatory. I don't know in what context it was used but it just means "female heterosexual"

It's all feminist slang basically.

No idea how French works so I vote you two have to do a rock paper scissors on it.
