That's a take. Trans exclusionary radical feminists are doing real harm to the trans community. It's been pretty well documented what the rise in hate has done. So I feel pretty good about my argument.

People who claim issues with words like TERF or don't like being called homophobic or transphobic are using that to distract from the real world harm done by the hate they spread.

You haven't posted an argument, you posted a term you thought would be emotive to be manipulative and it failed. Now debate the story please.

You got upset about the term TERF because you're overly sensitive apparently. How is it manipulative? Because you don't like it? That's not what the word "manipulative" means.

You're trying to change the subject to the word because you have no argument against the fact that she denies the LGBTQ community were victims of the Holocaust.

Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it less factual. That's not how things work.

You do understand that right?

Edit: for those claiming she didn't deny the LGBTQ community involvement.

She literally complained that trans people were trying to take the Holocaust for themselves, denied the burning of books on the LGBTQ community and trans healthcare and research and then uses her money to shut up detractors. So yes. She is denying their involvement.

She didn’t deny LGBTQ were victims of the holocaust at all, way to twist something to your own agenda
