this is fantastic news. The background to their story is however concerning. It should have never got this bad.

What slur could "Thea" face? Is she not white?

Reported to MNHQ for racism.

This is just a sample of why having ‘TERF’ carved into your door is an issue and this is just now a very old sampling. There are years and years more examples.

And yes, some of these threats have been from heterosexual male people too.

Apparently heterosexual men are women’s saviours…. I wonder if Kier Starmer understands this?

How many heterosexual male people are unable to confirm that female people never have had a penis or testes?

This isn't an apartheid/racial slur or the C word etc. Just a made up term made up by men who think they can be women. Just faux victimhood. That's not bravery. It's like calling a man a....whatever and him crying "I'm being oppressed for men beliefs".
Now, if violence was involved, then that's a different situation. Is Cambridge itself abasing the society formation? If not....no problem.

Slur is a term used when someone says something historically racist. Throwing "slur" around willy-nilly undermines centuries of oppression.

Don’t worry wims… unless there is violence involved, you should STFU and stop complaining.

And apparently the ‘c’ word is much worse than TERF, so what the fuck are we all complaining about. So many others have it worse, so again just STFU.

And if you get in trouble, it your own fault for net getting the men on side 🙄

Maybe you should provide evidence that slur is only referring to racism. Because I think you might be mistaken about the usage of the term.

That's threatening with violence and murd3r. That is different. That would be considered a crime. If 'he' had said "that's what women deserve", would "women" be a slur?
Also, doesn't that behavour imply women don't actually have a voice. If a Trans person can behave that, that implies the male aggression is still within them.
Listen, im not against the society formation.

Indeed! We have been told! And apparently women have never been opressed too… unless the ‘c’ word has been used. It seems that is acceptable to be brave in standing up to.

I am very much looking forward to the evidence that slurs only ever refer to racism. Because I am going to be very surprised by that.

Well, Google, A.i and Oxford dictionary state " A highly offensive and socially unacceptable term targeted at a person or group based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability."....Notice "race" and "ethnicity" are mentioned first. That implies the main proponent of the words meaning is sin colour. Also, it states "highly offensive and socially unacceptable term". I don't think T3RF means diddly-squart to most people on planet earth.

Aha, yes, and don’t forget if it’s not racism/apartheid then you have no right to complain and any abuse doesn’t count in the hierarchy of oppression. White girls at Cambridge cannot possibly be bullied.
(sarcasm)

If I get a paper cut, I don't complain about it to people who suffered a bullet wound even though both hurts. Where did I say they should be quiet? I said I don't see the bravery in it. Bravery is a strong word.

Oh dear.

The quickest way to get what you want is allyship. If Britain got in a war, wouldn't it make sense to get the USA to help. Not saying its right, but life is not a bouquet

Is English your first language? That isn't what 'slur' means.

Which Oxford dictionary did you check?

https://www.oed.com/dictionary/slur_n3?tl=true

1.a. 1609–
A deliberate slight; an expression or suggestion of disparagement or reproof.

1.b. 1662–
A mark, stain, or blot; a discredit (incurred by or cast upon a person, etc.). Const. to or upon.

1.c.1654–
In the phrases to cast, put, throw (etc.) a slur on or upon (a person or thing).

Are you using a different Oxford dictionary? Link us up to the reference please.

or are you just relying on AI?

What if Britain got in a war with the US? 🤔

• Offensive Term: A highly offensive and socially unacceptable term targeted at a person or group based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.

Bravery is a strong word. And it is appropriate to use for these young women.

Are you really intending to compare their plight to a ‘paper cut’ vs a bullet ?

Are you really dismissing their fears for safety and their future the way you are coming across as doing?

Perhaps you should link up your evidence so we can all see where you have drawn this from.

No one thinks that when they use the term "slur" and words meaning adopts a new mean over time. To pretend as if T3RF is just as offensive as any racial slur proves my point of the privilege mindset.
Your ego is not letting you see the bigger picture. I'm on the side of the women at Cambridge. I just don't se it as brave when they have all the protection that many on earth can only dream of to fight this 'oppression'.

Oh dear.

Can I please suggest that if you choose to post a dictionary definition, can you at least understand that the examples do not limit the application of the word.

And if you choose to use AI, check the answer given very thoroughly rather than assuming that it has give you the correct answer.

Safety, who is going to attack them. Fellow Cambridge students!? They'll risk their place and freedom for this society that will only be in the founders life for 2 yrs max? I don't see that happening.
The reason I used the paper cut/bullet example because what they're fighting for is not an institutional/global phenomenon/legal oppression women for Trans.

I agree with them (as i have said 5 times). It's just not as brave as you and others claim it to be. They have your support don't they.

My ‘ego’ has nothing to do with our interaction at all. You are not correct in your claims.

It is irrelevant whether you support the women or not if you dismiss the effort and bravery it has taken for them to do what they have done. Posters are pointing out your flawed meaning of ‘slur’ and your dismissal of the use of bravery to a very limited category of actions.
