I been noticing this Y chromsome "defective" rhetoric appearing more frequently. Do these TERFs not realize them and Matt Walsh have similar views?

      You're right in that it's an important part of their identity, but I don't think it affects their praxis. I never hear about these types of people doing activism for real feminist causes, just mobilizing to intimidate/dox/harass trans people.

        Imagine a Venn diagram with a circle labeled "RF" and a smaller circle inside labeled "TERF".

          Would it be kind of like if you drew a circle labeled "Marxists" and a smaller circle labeled "Gonzaloists," since Gonzaloists claim to be marxists but never do any praxis beyond the most destructive, op-like behavior?

      Hey how come "TERF" is in scare quotes but "trans ideology" isn't?

      Also the term TERF is almost 15 years old.

      The issue is that these people were always 'radical' in the same way Sargon was 'liberal'. It is in their own mind with no relationship to history or the outside world.
