ACTUAL terf rhetoric includes

- transphobia, as well as the kind that overlaps misogyny (elaborated in other points)

- deep hatred for men, overlapping with their hatred for trans women

- ace/aro/enby/bi/panphobia

- traditional gender values, as well as gatekeeping femininity from men and masculinity from women

- on the above point, savior complexes towards trans men saying they’re “confused” or “conditioned to hate their ”“true”“ gender due to the patriarchy”

- valuing the trad wife (can be hidden behind cottagecore)

- because of the above, often has white supremist values

- reducing women to their reproductive organs (misogyny and transphobia) while often simultaneously restricting reproductive rights

Remember, TERFS are sneaky and hide their motives behind good sounding points, but do your research and don’t let them have a voice for their transphobia and misogyny.

wrong.

terf rhetoric has nothing to do with tradwives or arophobia or whatever. terf rhetoric is

radical feminism (all porn/sex work is bad, femininity is a prison, all men are evil, female separatism, etc)

AND

gender is a construct directly and only based on sex, and believing that trans women aren’t women and thus excluding them from feminism

that’s all. those two things (and ONLY those two things) are both needed for someone to be a terf. if we keep obscuring actual terf rhetoric by tacking on more buzzwords we won’t be able to effectively fight transmisogyny. terfs are TRANSMISOGYNISTIC RADICAL FEMINISTS, they may also be racist or biphobic or dislike transmascs but many of them aren’t and that’s not what defines them. there are lots of terfs that are woc, bi, ace, etc. even trans men. stop fucking confusing things.

anyway op was right.
