    Yeah but you can be called a TERF for literally anything.

    For example, not believing that one year of testosterone makes it fair that trans women compete in the woman’s sports category.

    Despite the overwhelming evidence that it’s not fair.

    You’ll be labelled as a TERF.

    There’s also lots of rhetoric about how it’s OK to be violent to TERFs.

    So just be aware that “TERF” is a term online bullies use to dogwhistle violence against women who’s goal is to ensure the protection of women.

    For example, you would be labeled a TERF for not agreeing with “self ID” laws that mean any male prisoner could self identify as a woman and be placed in a woman’s prison - with zero confirmation or oversight.

    You’d also be labelled als a TERF if you pointed out that in multiple countries, 48%, of the men who are claimed to be women in order to be placed in a woman’s prison have a criminal record for sexual offenses.

    Since this Labels you a TERF. It would be also mean that you should be physically attacked.

    See, many progressives love to chat about “dog whistles” and “fascism” all day - except they conveniently ignore it when they are doing it.
