TERF Battles - How radical lesbian feminists created a transphobic culture in the U.S. and provided anti-trans fuel for Right-Wing fundamentalist hate groups

This is one of the primary reasons why I support anti-discrimination legislation. Without explicit laws declaring discrimination to be illegal, hate groups like this gain dominance and ruin thousands of people's lives. Legislation provides persecuted minorities with a legal means of defending themselves against these kind of groups.

Anyway, it's good to see that this group is finally losing traction after having such a dominating influence for so long. Hopefully the LGBT community will decide to start excluding THEM for a change.

    What's their purpose? To force others to behave in a way they see fit? No wonder they clash. (I'm not saying that to be snarky...that's really how I see it. Seems both sides are trying to force the other to behave a certain way...a way THEY deem acceptable. Why not just stay off each others' toes and find a better use of time?)

    The argument of biological determinism is a central aspect of both feminist and transgender theory. And the TERF movement is extremely well known in feminist and LGBT circles...

    Just google the names of the people listed in the article. Heck, just google the word "terf." These people are very real, I assure you.

    TERF: He has a prick! That makes him a man.

    Feminist: That’s bullshit! Anatomy is not destiny!

    Who spends their time having this argument? And has anyone heard of the TERF 'movement'? It sounds made up to me, Maph.

    Maybe I'm out of touch...if so.. good!

    Hmmm sounds like you hate them.
    I've never heard of this group and what 'dominate influence' have they had? Why give them the time of day even..if they really exist.
