So you’ve been called a TERF: Now What?

In this transcript, the speaker discusses the current state of online discourse and the increasing use of the term “TERF” (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) to target and silence women with differing opinions. They highlight the importance of asking questions and engaging in democratic discussions, rather than shutting down opposing viewpoints. The speaker emphasizes that the term “TERF” is often misused and that it originated to describe radical feminists in the 70s who didn’t want transgender women in their spaces. They urge for a shift in mindset, away from viewing difference of opinion as an enemy.
