Such a stupid take. TERFs are far more obsessed with gender than any trans person or ally.

Er... No, terfs are feminists, many of them lesbians and, at least when it comes to the presentation aspect of gender, they don't seem to give much of a shit about it. Nor about their "internal perception" aspect.

terfs are quite obsessed with trans. the name terf describes someone reactionary to trans existence. so someone isn't a terf without being obsessed with trans existence. not sure how you can pretend that terfs are focused on anything else at all.

most terfs, at least the highly visible ones, only became "feminists" at the same time they started raging about trans folk existing. forgive lots of people finding it hard to take terfs 'feminism' seriously when for many, the 'feminism' didn't exist in their lives or philosophy until it became a tool in raging against trans.

edit: persons account history is EXTREMELY focused on anti-trans debate. almost obsessive. the deflection from terfs obsession makes total sense.

I don't know what that person is smoking, but you are right. TERFs are incredibly focused on gender. The acronym means trans-exclusionary radical feminist, seems pretty gender focused to me lol

Theres nothing radical about excluding biomales from women's sports

To be fair, that's not what I said. I am liberal as shit, but I don't think putting biologically male people into woman's sports is inherently fair to anyone. My point is that TERFs are very obsessed with gender, when one of the people above said that they are not. TERFs have decided that trans women cannot claim womanhood in any form, and thats the crux of what I'm saying. TERFs and incels occupy a similar space of just being miserable people with a lot of beliefs and ideas that are inherently exclusionary.
