MODERATORS
Is radical a bad word? Its use is generally associated with revolutionary politics. The usage of the term by TERFs stems from second wave feminist theory. They have to specify that they are Trans Exclusionary to distinguish them from radical feminists as a whole, who are not necessarily Trans exclusionary.
AFAIK, TERFs don't usually describe themselves as TERF, they just call themselves feminists, sometimes also 'radical'.
But TERFs aren't radical. There is nothing 'radical' about transphobia.
Agreed. Only its obsolete connotation — hazardously unmeasured zealotry — would apply.
That they describe themselves as the positive kind of radical unironically speaks to how deeply they misunderstood feminism from the start.
Well, they did and didn't. They are stuck in the past. 2nd wave feminism and current day white feminism. It's, not good, but it's not exactly 'misunderstanding' just focusing on entirely the wrong things.
That or yeah, they're lying about being feminists, which... considering they side with and use fascist talking points wouldn't exactly be surprising.
