Yes, Canadian media has almost wholly embraced gender identity ideology, and refused to acknowledge feminist criticisms. Gender identity ideology isn't feminist, despite the fact many seem confused about this. Rather it is completely anti-feminist.
Again, "TERF" is a slur.... among intersectional feminists. The "RF" in "TERF" stands fro "Radical Feminist". I'm genuinely puzzled why you'd want to pretend that your opposition is antifeminist when it's this obvious they're just a different brand of feminist.

I don't identify as a radical feminist, I identify as a feminist. Feminism has been coopted by anti-feminists and idiots. Also, 'TERF' is used to attack anyone who criticizes gender identity ideology/legislation, not just those who identify as radical feminists.

If you want to delude yourself into thinking that every feminist who disagrees with your specific brand of feminism is a useful idiot or a cynical enemy agent, you do you I guess. I think this is silly, plainly self-serving and ultimately counterproductive.

They literally cannot define their own terms. I've asked, over and over again: what is a woman? What is trans? Feminism aside, their arguments are irrational and incoherent.

I'm not here to defend intersectional feminism. As I said at the outset, I disagree with both camps of feminism in this fight. My point is that it's ridiculous to frame the other side as antifeminist just because they have differing beliefs regarding what constitutes womanhood.

No it's not. Feminism is a specific analysis. It argues that women are not stereotypes -- we are not, for example, inherently passive, irrational, or emotional. If you argue that women are stereotypes and inherently 'feminine', that is an anti-feminist argument.

Arguing for biological sex differences while denying psychological sex differences is not significantly less kooky than denying biological sex differences. Again you're just assuming a priori that your strain of feminism is right.

You're moving the goalposts. I'm just explaining to you what the feminist analysis of gender is. You are free to disagree if you like.
-
I'm not moving the goalposts at all. I'm addressing your argument directly. You're trying to argue that intersectional feminism is antifeminist for acknowledging an aspect of reality that runs counter to your ideology, to whit, psychological sex differences.
