A joking way of saying "TERFs", similar to how the plural of "elf" is "elves." Used by radfems to affectionately refer to themselves/other radfems. It's a way of reclaiming the insult TERF, which misrepresents gender-critical radical feminism as "trans exclusionary" when it is actually male exclusionary

Normally meaning Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, as in a feminist that excludes trans people, its usage has widened to describe almost anyone that excludes trans people ideologically, so alternatively can stand for Trans Exclusionary Raving Fool to more accurately describe the people it's used to call out.

"T.E.R.F.," or "Terf"~acronym

TERF is an acronym for

Trans
Exclusionary
Radical
Feminist

Fairly self-explanatory, pretty much a passionate feminist who is simultaneously transphobic scum. Such an oxymoron I don't even know what to say.

someone with a functioning brain and morals.

To assign the task or responsibility to another. Used primarily in healthcare industry.

A bigoted and hate filled slur against woman, pushed by trans men who feel repressing women will help their cause. TERF: trans exclusionary radical feminist. The mere term is ignorant of the fact that it is not radical to stand up for actual women and it is ridiculous to exclude women for men trying to appear as a woman. It demonstrates the entitled and clueless nature of current western youth.

A misogynistic and manipulative slur that some members of the trans community came up with to silence women for standing up for their rights and safety of women and children. Immediately labeling women as transphobic for simply being concerned of their own safety which as we know 90% of offenders are biological males, 90% of sex offenders are biological males, and 99% victims of sex crimes are biological females. Transwomen are biological males and though these women who they labeled terfs are actually respectful of others’ existences and feelings, the respect of their spaces is not reciprocated. There is no wonder they are concerned especially when a lot of these women have been assaulted in one way or another in the past. The act of silencing the reality of women all around the world to include new age trans ideology and throwing a label on to logical concerned females in the holes to shut them up and deem them transphobic which is not the case. Science and facts are not transphobic. They shut women up for daring to stand up for themselves and speak the truth TERF stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist but if you listen to these silenced women they actually aren’t transphobic but simply standing up for their rights and safe spaces as highly oppressed members of society.
