What about that executive order is feminist? What about that EO at all indicates a familiarity with radical feminist beliefs? TERF is not the same as “all anti transgender people.”
Hey, look, kids! A sealion!
It’s a matter of target and vocabulary. I am trans. I’m not trying to distract from issues or ask bad faith questions.
The point is that TERF ideology is a non factor in the genocide being enacted against trans people. The ideology that is currently motivating the genocide of trans people is conservative dominionist Christianity. Of particular salience here, is the fact that the same motivating factors behind trans genocide motivate attacks on cis women, which a true TERF (and not an alt-right incel pretending to be one) would also be concerned about.
This kind of “lol punch a TERF”/using the term TERF to describe any transphobic belief system is counter to our goals. This is in part a fight over language and what words “mean” in an epistemological sense, and treating TERFs like they’re in lockstep with the Republican Party is foolish.
