Trans (Anti Terf statement)
5 years ago
General
So I am a Trans-woman, I am known for having a more laid back response for being misgendered, and for not blindly towing LGBTQ line or even Political line. I have a semi thick skin when it comes to the standard transphobe, however one in particular pisses me off. Terfs. Now for those of you that don't know Terf is a term meaning Trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
The reason Terfs bug me so much is that a majority of us Trans females what to identify as a woman, and I believe part of that validation comes from other women acknowledging you're one of them. At least thats how it is with me. So when bigoted feminists try pulling the whole 'Trans women aren't real women" It absolutely pisses me the fuck off. Honestly the term Terf should not exist, because to put it plain and simple Terfs are just fucking bigots.

"I'm on the right side of history!" is no guarantee of anything. If anything, it's likely to be a quickly-dated dead-end. Presumably, they started out as people who just assumed everybody would see (fe)maleness the same way they would.
Ditto for the "justice high" addiction which some individuals are prone to, whether they like to focus on individuality or away from it. One can assume "Hey, I'm doing what needs to be done; I'm hating the right kind of people!" Only, over time, the hatred part becomes more transparent and more tattered an excuse.
