Yoga TERF 

A nasty wack ass hippie kombucha loving trans exclusionary radical feminist. Usually white, classist, racist but under the guise of thinking she's "classier" than you. Lives in liberal city, identifies probably as a democrat. Maybe she went to a liberal arts college but thinks that women and vaginas are the same thing. Shops at the local co-op, farmers market, maybe she does aerial silk dancing, pole-dancing, is vegan, but low key loves slut shaming her friends. Is sweet but completely fake as fuck just like the stevia she adds to her cold brew. No amount of probiotics, meditation, or yoni steaming are able to get this bitches head out of her ass....

Surf and terf 

(Noun. Alternatively “surf ‘n’ terf”) Bethany Meilani Hamilton (born February 8, 1990) is an American professional surfer and writer who survived a 2003 shark attack in which her left arm was bitten off and who ultimately returned to professional surfing. She wrote about her experience in the 2004 autobiography, Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board, which was adapted into the 2011 feature film, Soul Surfer, in which she attributes her strength to her Christian faith.
Remember when that surf and terf made an Instagram post (on her birthday…?) saying trans women aren’t women and shouldn’t be allowed to compete, literally called trans men “converted women”, and then continued to go on a long, LONG rant about hormones, saying some weird, shady shit about people with PCOS?

Baby terf

You know that woman on Twitter shouting about woman's sex-based rights to participate in sports but says she's not a terf and doesn't have a problem with trans people? She's definitely a baby terf.

Sylvia: At first, I thought the speaker genuinely cared about preventing sexual violence in women's spaces, but then I realized she was just using the issue as a rhetorical device to promote old-timey conservative myths about trans women.

Wendy: That's TERFism for you.
