Terf is a trans exclusionary radical feminist.

Thanks, JDeere; okay, so I finally googled Wikipedia:

"They are, in short, a hate group that by no means represents mainstream feminism."

Ah, I now get that their violence is motivated by hatred - absolutely horrid. First, I learned about the incel movement because of the Toronto van killings, and now this! Am stunned!
Women grouping together (vigilantism) & beating up transfolk - mind-boggling.

What do y'all think?

I think the bloodlust is disgusting. Someone doesn't get someone else's identity so the solution is to beat them down the next time they come to the bar? I think that someone should have cooled their heels in a jail cell for that. What's wrong with debate and education?

No clue. I was completely appalled at the whole situation in the article. I still have yet to fully understand.

This is the first I have heard of TERF. It's horrible. It seems like hate is rampant these days. I suppose it was always there we just didn't have all the means of hearing about it as we do now.

I've known of TERFS for a very long time. Dont like em probably as much as they don't like me but ya know violence only makes shit worse.
