This is kind of ridiculous and - I'm almost ashamed to say this - unfair to people like Graham Linehan You've seen his self-pitying screeds about being the "most hated person on the Internet"?

To the extent that the word "TERF" is preferentially used for women that's because of TERFs You all are the ones demanding that we see your "movement" as one of women, by women, for women "Men cannot be feminists, they can only be allies" and all that shit

Terf is preferentially used for women because you lot love to dehumanise any women who dissagrees with you Our "movement" gender critical is not a women's movement. That is feminism And men can't be feminist because you dont even understand why slurs are such an issue for women

LOL, there was a time when I tried to use GC even though you all aren't critical of gender any more than you are radical feminists. Then a bunch of you decided "gender critical" was a slur, too, and I said "fuck this."

No one EVER amongst gender criticals thought gender critical is a slur I said somewhere in this thread i am not a radical feminist I know this blows your mind, but there are a lot of movements within feminism alone. Though gender critical is NOT a feminist movement in itself

People definitely started to claim that “gender critical” was a slur. It seems to have regained its popularity, though.

I think it's because people such as myself said "fuck this" and started using TERF more again. If we start using GC again, I think they'll decide GC is a slur again.

But you aren’t critical of gender, any more than your feminism is either radical or feminist at all.

But we are, because we think gender is a load of bollocks. Besides being GC i am a feminist but not a radical feminist. There are alot of different submovements in the feminist movement. You know that right?

The reason for the acronym "TERF" is that the core belief of what is currently called "gender critical feminism" by its adherents, "The oppression of women is rooted in their unique biology", is by definition radical feminism

It doesn't matter if you think this is a common sense opinion everyone holds or you feel you aren't an "extremist" or "zealous" proponent of this position The word "radical" in this context doesn't necessarily imply its colloquial meaning of "extreme" or "militant"
