    Mona Eltahawy Retweeted Nancy Jane Armstrong

    It is crucial to break the link between being radical and being transphobic, the words and notions. Transphobes are not radical, they are bigoted.https://twitter.com/NancyJaneArmst1/status/1216975490147160064 …

    I recognise there are differences in the ways those encased in female bodies at birth respond to those who identify as transgender but I find the term TERF inadequate to describe the various interests they represent. TERFS are often not rad fems and rad fems are often not TE.

        Replying to @monaeltahawy

        I tend to think it's an important term to have to describe a particular tendency in feminist history (actual rad fems who are transphobic). Not a fan of the way its become a general term to describe any and every transphobe though.

        Except even then it is often wrongly applied - Germaine Greer never was a radical feminist and was often subject to criticism from radical feminists. I fear that the term is used to divert attention from all forms of sexual oppression and create wedges within and between feminist

        Yes, but I think intersectionality is too easily claimed without the difficult conversations that arise in these intersections. As an analogy, I claimed anti-racism but working with and under the direction of Indigenous people made me realise how unconsciously racist I can be.

        Personally I've always liked Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes, or FARTs (Not sure who coined the actual term though)
