Have you ever been called a FART?

[Pluvia]

I have been asked to ask this question by the women poring over the South Wales police Transgender Handbook, which after many requests has finally been released. In it, SWP refers to GC women as TERFs and FARTs — Feminist appropriating radical transphobes.

Is FART a thing or have SWP made it up as yet another way of getting at women?

The first time I saw it used was that utterly puerile cockwomble 'Rachel' McKinnon.

It doesn't seem to have caught on - despite some TRAs trying to make it happen - because most seem to recognise, on the whole, that it's childish and pathetic even by their low standards.

I've never heard it and it feels like a bit of a reach. But I'm juvenile enough to claim it.

Rachel goes by Virginia now @teawamutu . You have committed dead naming 😡 . as for cockwomble…..

Oh dear what a shame never mind.

So how would South Wales Police DEI/ EDI department have got to hear about it, d'you reckon?

I’m proud to be a TERF/FART ✊

Sticks and stones etc….

It features here in this trans-language primer, which may be where SWP got it from. https://translanguageprimer.com/terf/ It seems it was considered as a way of taking the focus off TW and poking fun at GC people, but there did not appear to be much appetite for the puerile humour in this 2yo Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/comments/11boti5/terftofart/?rdt=45051

It’s interesting that the SWP do not seek to exclude but are happy only to stand with trans and NB people and not with women. Says a lot.

Veronica. Veronica Ivy. 2 female names so that he doesn’t get called McKinnon.

Exactly, it came from RM ages ago

Yeah think my brother called me that when I was about 6 or something.
Jeez I bet they think they are so funny and witty coming up with that.

😂 no
Oh god, I can't wait for it to happen though
I'm going to ask them very confusedly to explain what they mean, each word in detail

Ha ha! No, but it's on par with the public urinating and the breasts out "protests"!
