Kind of just lighthearted in a non lighthearted peak trans way!
I'm very new to all this (we're talking weeks but it didn't take me long to get up there with you) but have fallen down the rabbit hole most nights this week til 2am reading reading reading mostly in total disbelief . I've even joined Twitter. When I first reached peak trans I felt very disheartened but now I see there ARE voices out there that are just as loud and more people like me are deciding that "coming out" as a TERF is probably worth the agro because if we don't speak up then we lose.
TERF seems to be used exclusively by TRAs as a slur. But I see on Twitter so many publicly claiming the label.
When I first came on here I had to ask what all the acronyms meant and I see many others doing the same.
So I thought it might be quite entertaining to change the meaning when newbies like me come on board and ask so that it stops being a slur and starts being a self identifying (ironic!) term like "feminism"
So I'll have a go. How about Totally Excellent Realistic Female?
Or
Tenacious Eager Recalcitrant Faction?
Anyone else?

Can't we reclaim "TERF"?
