This is why TERFs are right wing.
Effing literally “Drop the T” is a radfem/TERF popular tag.
TERFs are right in lockstep with the right wing as long as trans lives suffer.
A direct quote from the article:
“Attendees were also told to wrap their transphobic rhetoric in the language of feminism, claiming gender identity is a concept offensive to women.”
reblogging because this is not just an abstract dotted line trans people and their allies are drawing for rhetoric’s sake, but very much a literal and intentional initiative on the part of the right. I’m sure that not every budding “gender-critical” radfem has any notion she’s being used as a pawn in this way, the opinions in question will feel organic, but that’s the downstream effect of a well crafted right-wing communications strategy: that’s how this works.
whoop there it is
