If you think TERF (describing behavior) is a slur, you are wrong. If you're about to get defensive, you have a blind spot for trans issues.

A blind spot is not an insult, people are allowed to grow and the media doesn't exactly present a favorable view.

Best way to correct a blind spot is to follow some people of the group you're unfamiliar with and not speak for a while.

Just listening helps you understand and be a better ally, and understand where the stuff they're saying is coming from.

Appreciate the shout, but how many of us listed are White? I at least know I have my blindspots along that axis too.
