Actually the person I quoted is trans and identifies as they or she/her. They were saying and gave extensive evidence and direct quotes that a lot of TERF’s were actually using material posted by a fascist to further their anti-trans agenda. So yeah these feminists may not be fascists but they are using fascist propaganda, which is almost as bad.

There’s no point arguing with TERF’s when they just make up crap like this.

Hello, hi, yes, I’m a feminist and cis, and here goes: if you prick a TERF a fascist bleeds. 

Is this acceptable for you anon???

I saw some posts a while back proposing a solution to this seeming conflict of ‘comparing feminists to fascists’.

We shouldn’t be calling them TERFs.  We shouldn’t be validating their supposed feminism even to that degree, because they aren’t actually feminists.

They are Feminist-Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes.  Which comes with the convenient acronym of FART.

The problem is, they are actually feminists. Feminism has a very, very long and troubled history when it comes to The Trans Question ™. You can easily trace a direct line of heritage from early lesbian feminist activism to modern TERFs. I can show you very prominent feminists, historically and today, who have said some positively vile shit about trans women.

And as a trans woman and the one who caused this entire round of TERF bullshit, I for one would far rather see feminists acknowledging and owning that history and working to correct it than trying to sidestep the issue by playing No True Scotsman.

This. We don’t validate their feminism when we describe them as TERFs because we’re already talking to people who grew up thinking of themselves as feminists and don’t see themselves as needing validation for that identity. All we do by denying where they came from and what they are is pretend that feminism doesn’t have it’s own history of abuses.

To actually confront them? We confront the fact that feminism has always had problems like this. We accept that the journey to a truly intersectional and diverse feminism has unearthed some mighty bigoted people on our side of the fence and that we need to weed our own garden while we make it grow.

Call a TERF a TERF. Make sure that people know that to a TERF, their need to attack trans women is stronger than their need to fight for women’s liberation. Make sure that people know that you can watch as TERFs happily team up with misogynistic bigots as long as they find common ground in hating trans people. Make sure people know that fascism is where TERFs are heading, because it’s the end state for their kind of aggressively inhumane authoritarianism.

Prick a TERF, a fascist bleeds.

TERFS LITERALLY WORK -WITH- RIGHT-WING, ANTI-ABORTION, ANTI-LGBTQ GROUPS!

.

Mary Lou Singleton at the WoLF gets paid by the ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) – which actively supports policies of eugenics;

.

Transgender Trend in the UK got backing and support for their crowdfunding campaign (after it got removed by Crowdfunder.co.uk) from BREITBART.

.

TERFs go talk at conferences hosted by The Heritage Foundation another anti-gay, anti-abortion right-wing think-tank.

.

TERFs think rape isn’t all that bad.

.

TERFs distributed anti-trans pamphlets ghost-written by The Federalist, another right-wing media outlet.

.

TERFs are all too happy to align themselves with anti-trans media figures like Kaeley Triller Haver, founder and spokesperson for Hands Across the Aisle, and they don’t care if people like that also ally with groups who do not support women’s rights to their own bodies.

.

TERFs are supported by groups such as the Family Research Council, which has been encouraging them to “DROP THE T”.

.

Cathy Brennan acted as the mouthpiece for the anti-LGBT and anti-abortion group The Pacific Justice Institute.

.

TERFs think that it’s worth throwing pro-choice women under the bus if it means they get to deny trans women their rights.

.

TERFs literally talk to each other about the policies they’re gonna tell TRUMP to implement next:

.

GTFO. TERFs collaborate with right-wing, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT groups ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
