rebranding TERF

[PosieReturningParker]

I want to rebrand TERF and have some ideas about alternatives.

3Fs. Feminism for females
FCF female centred feminism

And I'm going to use #DEW Don't Erase Women

Or DEF females

[lorelei9]

is this the second such thread that's died after I posted...?

[0phelia]

It's because you're a TERF
Thread Ending Rad Fem.

[BertrandRussell]

"Terf here too, I think of myself as a Round Earther grin"

[lorelei9]

Ophelia, I am!

Then again, never finding out how I would be labelled doesn't matter much I guess.

[2BthatUnnoticed]

Unpleasant, dangerous people?

You may have come to the wrong place Lucy but it’s nice to meet you anyway

[terryleather]

Zombie thread!

But anyway as a reminder for those who are struggling - feminism is about fighting for the liberation of women & girls from patriarchy, not about centering the cock and its demands.

HTH

[BernardBlacksWineIceLolly]

I thought for a minute posie had come back before seeing that the thread was 3 years old

Do we think Lucy will stick around to chat, or promptly fuck off, having given us the benefit of their wisdom?

[terryleather]

I'm betting not Bernard, just another one wanting to do a bit of viper poking while calling us farts...oh the wit and originality.

And I also thought Posie was back...

[BernardBlacksWineIceLolly]

Farts. God that’s so funny. You see you take the first letters of the words and it spells a naughty word. It’s the new thing. It’s like a mic drop but cooler

[OvaHere]

Lucy probably has better things to do, like waving baseball bats and swords about in women's bathrooms..

[terryleather]

It's the school holidays, so maybe that explains things..

[Prawnofthepatriarchy]

If you're going to accuse people of being something it always helps if you can spell what you're accusing them of.

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

Oh My God
"Lucy" did the FART thing

That's so so so funny! I'm crying here. I've never heard that before.

Jeez, you lot are so repetitive, you'll be saying there's only 8 of us next.

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

I wonder how he found this thread to bump?

[ErrolTheDragon]

'How' isn't hard, it's the 'why' which is baffling.

[DickKerrLadies]

Bit early for bingo, isn't it?

[2BthatUnnoticed]

School holidays hey. Lucy could be a 9yo boy - they are very fond of that acronym

If so Lucy you are too young to talk to strangers online! So log off and enjoy your hols.

If you are a grown-up - what do you mean by “unpleasant and dangerous?” (Genuine question. I use requested pronouns and names, and know most trans people are just living their lives like ever else.)

[2BthatUnnoticed]

like everyone* else, even

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

I think it's really important to try and get teenagers outside during the school holidays and not just let them fester in their own pits, playing computer games.

Anyone got any tips on successful strategies for booting them outside?

[Socrates11]

Always the 'power cut' trick. Shut down at the fuse box

[KatvonHostileExtremist]

genius

[ChattyLion]

I’ve seen a few people on here using ‘reality-based’ as a shorthand for ‘gender critical’ and I really like that.

[ChattyLion]

Oh bugger should have read the full thread.

[sackrifice]

However if you're looking for a new term to replace TERF then try Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Trasphobe. Not only does it stop the appropriation of feminism by bigots, but also gives a nice easy to remember acronym.

I always did wonder why lads liked fart jokes.

It's an absolute giveaway tho'. Women just don't find it as funny as blokes.

Hope that helps.
