The word 'Terf' is a slur right?

And often used as a term of abuse.
So am I right to be concerned that a mental health charity is using someone with 'cher h8s terfs' in their bio* at their event and using said image from bio on the advert for the event?

*For context, the person is a Cher fan.

(Yes I've also posted this in aibu but wanted to see what the feeling is on here)

Cher hates terfs?

Has anyone asked Cher?

^^ That post is jumbled. I hope everyone gets the gist of it though!

I didn’t see your post in AIBU

I would say yes, TERF is a horrible slur

If they are quoting Cher though (I don’t know if it’s a direct quote from her herself or what they have opinionated themselves from comments she made) then it’s not necessarily a bad thing, although a monumentally stupid thing to do, IMO, including the word “hate” to denounce people that raise genuine concerns whilst raising awareness for a mental health charity.
