  • I honestly think we should stop using the term and just call them transphobes. I don’t have a problem using it for actual radical feminist that hates trans people, ie. Germaine Greer and people like that, but in reality people who hold those believes in anti-trans circles are very rare, and they’re mostly second wave feminists in their 70s or above.

    I’m aware that a few radical feminists are still active in those circles, but the majority of TERF thought leaders are either liberal pop-feminists, or don’t even identify as feminist at all. Because of that I don’t buy for a single second that their hatred of trans people comes from misguided feminist beliefs, rather than plain old disgust and a weird need to defend normalcy that’s not at all different from how conservative christians feel.













  • Pride in my country won’t even kick out reactionary political parties from the arrangements. Libertarian adjacents who are fine* with gay people but who believe there’s only two genders and it’s determined at birth. Like, everyone who participates in pride hates you and you hate us, but because it’s a mainstream political party we do this civility bs, otherwise it would be political, and just let them have their stand there. There’s basically never a week passing without these guys making a transphobic statement so just chose any one of them and use it as a a reason to kick them out. Pride is political, if you can’t tell homophobes and transphobes they’re unwelcome, what’s even the point?
