i know what tankies are but not terfs
TERFs are "trans exclusionary radical feminists". Basically it means people who are feminist but transphobic. They advocate for women's rights but view trans women as men invading women's spaces.
Not quite. TERFs regularly team up with groups trying to dismantle women's rights to attack trans people. Their transphobia often uses misogyny as a blueprint (for example, attacking trans women for not meeting some kind of vague feminine beauty standard or defining womanhood purely by the ability to give birth). They're feminists in name only.
Well, yes, they're feminists in name only because trans women are women and don't believe trans women should have the same rights as cis women.
That too
