I read that earlier. The comments underneath are quite powerful - lots of men signing up to terfdom 🙂

But that was inevitable when trans activism went for access to women undressing and children in schools.

What we are seeing are fathers worried about the impact this is having upon their daughters. Most fathers want to protect their daughters and don’t want them disadvantaged by Horrid Henry who insists he is a girl and needs to be in their changing room, sports team and taking female awards/places.

Not all TERFs are female which is something the TRAs haven’t realised.

It’s new to Telegraph readers! 😄

It used to be “fuckwits”

Maybe Telegraph readers would have conniptions at the more preferable "fuckwits".

I heard it years ago as 'Tediously Explaining Reality to Fuckwits"
