Part of why I don't engage TERFs or the rhetoric is because it's supremely uninteresting to fence at their denials from 9000 different positions.

Turns out I can do a lot more w/ r.t. trans activism simply by asserting my gender and moving on.

With due respect to "don't ignore the bigot" arguments, this is one area where I think that rule breaks down. They have managed to completely stagnate us in entry-level discourse.

And since it's done in bad faith, literally *nothing* we can do can break that. We have to outflank that argument.

In otherwords, let the TERF be a TERF. Their power exists only insomuch as they have people willing to listen, and we can engage those marks more effectively.

TERFs operate a very small, easily bypassable gate. They can't be gatekeepers if we just hop the fence.

Every single time they're just screeching about chromosomes. If you bring up that chromosomes aren't just black and white then it's dismissed as an anomaly

The reality is that TERFs don't operate in reality, and just flat out deny science when it's shown to them. There's no point in debating. They don't want a debate. They don't want to embrace facts. They don't care about science. Block and move on.
