So if I understand the trans activist position, you have to use the right pronoun, but nobody could object to the noun ‘TERF’ because it is objectively true

The way I see it the ‘exclusionary’ in TERF is slippery. Strictly it is right that rad fems exclude trans women from the category woman. But they do not exclude them from society.

Well, no. You have to know what they're accused of excluding them from.

TERF is less straightforward because it's not an immutable characteristic but an ideology & no-one is morally obliged to avoid descriptors which have derogatory connotations for those. I tend to avoid now for reasons of diplomacy & not being mistaken for having a tribal position.
