I don't disagree with you.
Though I think "Gender Critical" is a better moniker than TERF honestly - it always baffled me that they think "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist" is a slur, because it gives them too much credit in my opinion. You can't be a feminist if you also say shit like "being a woman isn't about lived experiences" and "women are the producers of the large gametes." They're essentially saying "trans women aren't women because cummies" which is just utterly ridiculous and calling them feminists give them way too much credit.
Ultimately I think FART is the absolutely most fitting moniker because it describes them perfectly, it just doesn't serve to legitimise our standpoint at all.
