'GC is a slur"

GC is a slur, we need to abandon it and call ourselves something that doesn't come off as critical and negative. I was thinking something like sex based rights SBR or pro womens rights PWR (PrO WomEs Rights = power = PoWeR).
Only issue is Maya getting GC specifically protected, so can it even be changed as GC has become tainted and not seen as progressive.
Something nice catchy and fresh.

Gender Critical Feminist is not a slur. It's an accurate description of an intelectual position- that sex stereotypes are harmful and not based in reality.

You can't changes the terms because you don't like people's perceptions of it. Own it, create a better image for the term or get thicker skin

Taking to DD about it and she just blurted out "ewwww you're transphobic" rolls eyes at me, tried explaining GC, she basically says it's the same thing and DH says nothing throughout it, kind of just left it there. Feeling torn apart about it all.

I don't think it really matters what we call ourselves, it will become the next slur. I am critical of gender, gender stereotypes are bad for women and men and girls and boys. I'm also critical of gender identity ideology. Most of the time I just say I'm passionate about women and girl's rights.

Bollocks. GC is a badge of honour worn by those who respect old fashioned stuff like truth, reality, biology and science. The Koolaid mentalists wont give a flying fuck how we choose to describe ourselves, so why should we give a fuck about what they think?

GC is fine, let's not submit to the whole reality management site.

I'm a biological realist.
