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

@InvaderXan gross! Kinda want an *actually* gender critical movement now where we critique the system of gender and what has been taught to us about gender by the sexist, cis normative society. That would be so much better.

@Some_Person The way I see it, that’s what feminism is supposed to be. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way, it seems

"Gender critical" should mean "doubting that gender is useful for anything" or something like that.
