Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

I've just been called a TERF...

On Facebook.

Local Facebook page, a man posts a discussion about Prolife protesters outside abortion clinics. A picture of himself with a sign saying 'screw these guys', pointing to the Prolifers.

He then proceeds to lecture women thinking about counter protesting, saying sometimes it makes the situation worse (yet he posts a photo of himself clearly antagonising the prolifers at a previous protest Hmm )

I point out to people thinking about counter protesting, with a particular group who are mentioned, that the prochoice group hold certain views about gender that conflict with my own.
That they believe the word woman should not be used on placards as 'people of all genders use abortion services'
Obviously it's just women that use abortion services.

So a sign stating 'A woman's womb is no ones business but her own' would not be allowed. It would have to say 'A person's womb is no ones business but their own'

Anyway. I was blocked by the OP.

This below was the reason.

Funnily enough, before he blocked me I received around a DOZEN likes from Women agreeing with what I said. They also believe that the word woman is Not dirty and should be a use able word in relation to abortion services.

Yet this man think he knows better than them and me.

He blocked me again before I could reply.

Argh.

I've just been called a TERF...

What does Helen Mirren have to say Fekko?

Quaffy · 01/10/2019 21:59

Helen Mirren basically said if being a TERF means not accepting TWAW then she is not a TERF, or words to that effect.

Dame Helen Mirren really wants you to know that trans women are women ok so that’s a Pink news header but that’s what you need to know. It’s the gist...

Mr Sophocles has a beard, and he is resolutely non-woke grin. I have carefully beaten the urge to mansplain out of him over the years though, so he wouldn’t fucking dare go on like OP’s willy waver (JOKE! I do not beat my husband, obviously)

I beat the urge to tell me her way of parenting was the only way of doing things out of my ex-wife over the years, so she wouldn't fucking dare go on about how I do it wrong. (JOKE! I did not neat my ex-wife, obviously. But I do think it's fing hilarious to joke about it, because the world still fing LOVES a DV joke @sophoclesthefox)

Right now I'd be overjoyed to be called a Terf. Cannot bear these fuckwits who think language, biology, and lived reality is meaningless.

‘Famous actor voices random opinion on hot topic woke issue’

Shock. HM is another rich woman who is never likely to face the consequences of being vulnerable with limited choices and on the sharp end of TWAW in the ordinary world.

What on earth happened to this thread?

OP you can get lovely badges proclaiming your terfiness. I have one on my bag that lets the world know I am a man-hater, feminazi, prude, witch, bigot, and terf. So far nobody's punched me for it. If they're going to call you it anyway, you might as well revel in it and use it as an opportunity to stealthily educate people who've so far missed the whole thing.
