We all agree terf has not been a useful term for a long time, it implies they're feminists, it implies they're for women, it reinforces their arguments that they're on the side of women and gives them space to hide their more extreme elements.

Why not something like cis-supremacist? Something that is far-right adjacent would be useful in making people properly make this connection, especially given who they're allying with lately.

    ??? this is like saying calling nazis a nazi implies they are a socialist, makes no sense

    also terfism is rooted in a generation of 70's radfeminism, why do certain elements keep trying to rewrite this history I wonder?

      Those are the theoretical roots of terfism, but the modern movement is middle class cishet women funded by the Christian right. It's a very different demographic than Janice Raymond types.
