Rad Trad

A short form of the term Radical Traditionalist. A 'Rad Trad' is a Catholic who adheres to pre-1960's traditions, especially the Latin Mass in favour of the Novus Ordo (post-Vatican II mass). They're basically hardcore for all things pre-Vatican II and they reject aspects of modern Catholicism. Most would consider themselves in union with the Catholic Church, though.
"Lately, after Mass, he keeps on saying how he wishes our parish had Latin Mass instead. I’m starting to think he might be turning into a Rad Trad."

Rad-Inclus

An ideology where (usually white, able bodied, perisex) individuals believe that one can "identify into" any cultural identity or physical trait (TransID) relying on a highly transphobic understanding of gender identity that implies that trans individuals are not and can never be their identified gender, but simply "want" to be. This is often done under the belief that any space or definition that exists specifically for a minority is "exclusionist" regardless of its purpose, with the goal of dissolving or forcing their way into these spaces.
"I came across some Rad-Inclus discourse online yesterday, they were calling wheelchair users 'Exclus' for having their own tag."
