TERF is not a slur. It is an acronym and descriptor.
If you describe yourself as a radical feminist (or just a feminist and you act radically) and you exclude trans people from feminism, then you are a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. A TERF.
I feel like none of my friends like me anymore and idk what to do. I had such depression this year I couldn't keep up with everyone and now I feel like I can't even contact them and expect them to reply. Ughhhhh
I'm so sick of this whole platform wow I think I'm gonna have to delete. The LGBTQ+ community is grieving the deaths of 5 people who were killed in a mass shooting and the platform is letting people spew the same rhetoric that led to this and even allowing celebrations of the act
Now hearing said journo doesn't even work for the publications she's claiming to work for and people are still taking her word as gospel. God's sake people will take ANYONE who tries to demonize trans people seriously and will ignore their clearly bigoted motives
A cis journalist denying that people who spew transphobic rhetoric are doing so is exactly how we end up with hate crimes and horrific incidents in which LGBTQ+ are killed. Cis journalists shut the fuck up for a second and stop pretending the rhetoric isn't transphobic. It is.
People DIED because of this rhetoric this week and there are people saying "oh x isn't transphobic". Just stop. LGBTQ+ people are dying and your response is to claim they shouldn't be worried about the transphobia and homophobia amplified by big voices
Not in the business of whataboutism or excusing Qatar for it’s horrific LGBTQ laws, but there’s a hell of a cognitive dissonance to see US media uproar about t-shirts & armbands when LGTBTQ people are being gunned down in Colorado Springs. We better bring home that same energy.
The (re)mainstreaming and open vocalizing of anti-LGBTQ hate and antisemitic hate on the American right has happened astonishingly fast - and has happened *since* Trump left office. Dangerous times.
The one who saved my life and stomped the shooter’s face in was not a drag queen, she is a trans woman. Let’s not call trans women drag queens during this time of grieving over a transphobic attack.
Just so you know, The Public Order Bill is about to Pass through Parliament with barely a word of opposition.
It means you won't be allowed to even speak about organising a Protest.. This is where we are.
Cats are so good. There’s just a little guy in my house! We hug! We don’t speak the same language! We’re best friends! He bites me! I make up little songs about him! He doesn’t know my name! We fall asleep next to each other!
Why does Google maps suddenly think my bus doesn't stop at my uni? I always use it to know when I'm going to arrive and currently it won't even say my bus goes to there?? And last week when I was leaving it tried to tell me there was no way to walk to the bus stop I use? Why??
Sept: "someone needs to do something about these perverted drag artists grooming our children"
Oct: "someone needs to do something about these perverted drag artists spreading gayness"
Nov: "the massacre at the drag night was an utter tragedy but we mustn't politicise it"
