Any useful term would have to include some sense of anti-trans, trans-hating, trans-voice-silencing, trans-opposing, trans-harassing, trans-rights-opposing or something in that realm.
I said other- I’d be willing to use another term, but not “gender critical” bc it is misleading and inaccurate. TERF is somewhat inaccurate as well, bc the current era TERFs aren’t necessarily even feminists, but more accurate than gender-critical.

I'd honestly rather ppl used GC for folks that aren't TERFs in any meaningful sense. It also helpfully mirrors the ties with the connections (like Posie) to the broader international "anti gender" movement which has repeatedly infiltrated GC. https://www.rowmaninternational.com/book/antigender_campaigns_in_europe/3-156-7734fc12-00e3-47fc-8478-05897740ac19 …

That’s interesting ... what about the descriptor “gender critical” is inaccurate and misleading ?

I’m a journalist. If I write about radical feminists who exclude trans women, the general public understand “Ok, so they’re feminists and they have some kinda issue with trans people.” It gives a sense of what we’re talking about. Not perfect accuracy, but we’re in the ballpark.
