It’s weird how they call themselves “gender critical” when all they do is uncritically enforce the gender binary
@InvaderXan when I first saw the label gender critical I got excited because I thought they were actually going to critisise gender structures or something.... It was so disappointing to find out what they actually meant :/
@Some_Person I know, right? I had the same reaction! Like, “Oh, there’s a movement to be critical of gender! That’s so— ...wait a minute.”
@InvaderXan ugh such a big disappointment :/ TERFs really love appropriating good words, radical feminist now means "conservative bigot" instead of something cooler.
@Some_Person Appropriating interesting things – or worse, culturally important things – is just what bigots do. TERFs use the same playbook as the rest of the fash. It’s just... ugggggggh
