We all agree terf has not been a useful term for a long time, it implies they're feminists, it implies they're for women, it reinforces their arguments that they're on the side of women and gives them space to hide their more extreme elements.

Why not something like cis-supremacist? Something that is far-right adjacent would be useful in making people properly make this connection, especially given who they're allying with lately.

    That's a great explanation and I agree. Trans-supremacist makes sense and rightly puts them alongside white supremacists. I guess the tricky part is getting large numbers of people to use it instead of TERF.

      I think trans-supremacist would be those of us advocating for forced feminisation of men but I'm glad I'm not just sounding crazy about this. I am finding it quite difficult to put it all to words.
