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"

The word "radical" comes from the Latin word "radix", for "root" (like a "radish") In general, the "radical" version of a political movement is the one that focuses on "attacking the root" of a problem, trying to identify what an issue is "rooted in"

Yes thank you for mansplaining radical feminism to a woman

Okay well you're clearly either mistaken or lying -- probably mostly the latter -- because a lot of your "gender-critical" statements are by definition "radical feminist" The whole "sex is real, gender is fake" thing, for starters
