An affectionate word that radfems use when talking about radfem things. A play on the insult "TERF" which paints gender critical radical feminism as "trans exclusionary" (rather than male exclusionary, which is what it actually is.)

The adjective form of terves.

Trans-Exclusionary Homosexual Male. A perjorative term coined by tumblr user spill-the-gender-tea to mean gay men who don't want to interact with the vagina of a trans-identified female. A male equivalent of the perjorative term "TERF" or "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist" that is often thrown at lesbians who don't want to interact with a girldick, (see the "cotton ceiling").

Has been reclaimed by gay male gender critical/ radfem feminist allies who are proud to be homosexual.
