I'm going to just say it, if you are a TERF you aren't actually a feminist.

Better people than me have made this point (or similar), but if you exclude any kind of women from your brand of feminism then you're not looking to break the whatever social forces oppress women, you're just trying to extend their supremacy to yourself and your chosen few.

Not perfect makes it sound like they just have this little problem. TERFS are lovely feminists if anything.

I think it’s fair to call a group that specifically excludes certain women from the movement non feminist is pretty fair.

Unless you have something to say about trans women.

I think it's more widely defined as if your feminist doesn't leave room for intersectionality then your motivations are probably way off.

By your response I dunno if I was being unclear so to make a short story long: I am not saying Skwirl is wrong for excluding TERFs, I am agreeing with Skwirl that TERFs aren't feminists. TERFs aren't looking to end the oppression of women they just want to align cis women with the oppressors.

That’s fair, I thought you were using it as a defense of Terfs as I have seen it used before.

I went from never having heard the term TERF ever in my life to reading it every 5 posts on this site now. Did someone on a podcast everyone listens to say it and now its the buzzword of the moment or something?

I'm not saying the term is useless or anything, but seeing it so often now after never reading on here before just seems so weird.

It just means a feminist who hates trans people.

Of course you are gonna here it more as trans issues become more focused on.

I don't think it's fair to rule out whole swaths of feminists as feminists because I don't approve of what they think of or how they treat trans women (and trans men, if they even acknowledge them). I think it's an attempt to whittle down terms like "feminist" into strictly positive but almost one-dimensional identities when the real history and present of it are way more complicated.

I mean TERFs aren't excluded from intersectional feminism and they're free to reap the benefits, they just might not get to police who is or isn't a woman or campaign against the human rights of women. We all have to make small concessions in life.

So what, you're going to erase any progress made by a feminist like, I don't know, Gloria Steinem just because she's a TERF? What's next, pretending the suffragettes did nothing because many of their leaders in the US were bigots?

They're really very different. Canadian Bacon is cylindrical. Back Bacon is the natural shape of the loin plus some belly. Back Bacon is a rasher, Canadian Bacon is a slice of lean ham.

In a desperate attempt to get away from TERF Chat:

Canadian bacon is literally made from back bacon. It's the eye of the loin, which is the big thick chunk of muscle in back bacon. If you go to "Canadian bacon" on Wikipedia it redirects to back bacon.

Like, I get that they're not the same thing, but claiming they're unrelated is just wrong.
