My problem is with associating it with feminism, it's offensive to me and factually inaccurate. TERF talking points are usually gender essentializing in a way that is contrary with radical feminist viewpoints, for example, and lots of TERFs now distance themselves from feminism intentionally as they coalition with the right-wing. "Gender critical feminism" is not feminism at all, and better characterized as fundamentally anti-trans rather than fundamentally feminist.

I completely agree, that;s why I like to call them FARTs. And it fits - they are radically transphobic and they do appropriate feminism despite not being feminist
