Sorry only news sources reporting this is the Daily Mail and Telegraph, not worth linking to their thoughts on trans women.
Of note is that Eleanora was elected to the spot and backed by ‘Greens for Palestine’ . 2 Weeks later she is out on transphobic grounds and seems to have her suspension leaked to the Daily Mail potentially by someone in the Greens.
Xitter conversation between Greens Party Council and Eleanora
Greens Party Council member Kai Taylor has put the Greens party into disrepute.
Gender “critics” aren’t the same as TERFs, almost none of them are radical feminists. They’re liberal feminists at best, and most of them aren’t any kind of feminist.
TERFs aren’t feminist either.
Gender Critical is simply the term TERFs use to refer to themselves, even JK Rowling calls herself a GC. It’s the “Pro-Life” to the “Pro-Choice” of abortion, a soft sounding name to help with public perception.
I think you misunderstand me: Radical Feminism is the belief that patriarchal modes of government are responsible for women’s oppression and must be overthrown through revolution. It doesn’t inherently exclude trans people, but some radical feminists do, leading to them being labelled TERFs, with non-transphobic radical feminists still just being called radical feminists. Regardless of whether you want to count them among feminists, a prerequisite of being a Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist is that you are a Radical Feminist of some form first.
JK Rowling, Graham Lineham, and the vast majority of the GC crowd are not radicals. They do not believe there is anything wrong with our current modes of government. They do not believe in revolution. They are not Radicals Feminists, so can’t be Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists. They are just bog standard transphobes. GC is the term transphobes use to refer to themselves, it’s not limited to TERFs.
This isn’t the 80s, the language has evolved. TERF is a catch-all for the ‘biological sex’ crowd these days.
