#Honestly the word is pretty good proof TERF is a silencing tactic tbh

[womenaremypriority]

Overall, even though I think the word ‘TERF’ is a silencing tactic, and although the hatred towards’TERF’s is sexist and absurd- I can understand why it’s an emotional topic for people, I can understand why people wouldn’t want to be around gender critical women and would think we don’t have similar goals on the topic. But I loathe the word SWERF and I think it’s ridiculous and dangerous. Because I really do think feminists with different opinions around the topic have similar goals, and getting anything remotely helpful done would be 10x easier if being a ‘SWERF’ wasn’t considered such a no-go in activist spaces. It genuinely helps no one. Lessening sex trafficking, making sure people can exist the industry, reducing violence and negative stereotypes, humanizing women in the industry, etc. The fact people genuinely are scared to include ‘SWERF’s in their spaces and activism is genuinely so pathetic and a real shame.
