I fully support "TERF" J. K. Rowling.

A far left wing wealthy author discovers she is an useful idiot.

I didn’t realize that the tweet to which JK Rowling replied wasn’t copied. It said, “I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be.” Utter BS.

I should’ve written, ‘Utter trans ideology BS.’

Better late than never.

Would you rather she enthusiastically supported the trans insanity?

BTW, for anyone else curious, TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

IOW, a feminist who doesn’t think what her Deep State masters tell her to think.

Since I never bought any of her books, I don't care what her position is on any subject {contrary to babylon's position on Freepers not caring but spouting off about a subject}.

Regardless of pathetic leftist narratives, none of us are compelled to participate in radical leftist delusions. They are to be discarded as so much execrable filth, which is an utterly appropriate description for the left.

HAHA, that’s pretty good!

After never having considered myself a feminist at all in any way, I do now consider myself a TERF. In fact, I’m ready to buy a t-shirt!

Rowling is very brave. And she has plainly said that she’s standing up in part on behalf of other who don’t have the resources to resist that she does.

Since I find *Twitter threads* impossible to follow, I’d be more interested in what the “two words” were.

They are trying to reduce a Woman to just a feeling.

I hate this Twitter nonsense.

Can’t anyone use quotation marks, at least? Maybe some indentation? Good God.

Your post is confusing to me.

Are you saying YOU support TERF?

Are you saying that YOU support TERF and J.K. Rowling?

Are you saying that J.K. Rowling supports TERF?

The use of quotes around only TERF makes it impossible to figure out your intent. Adding to my confusion is the fact that I had no idea what TERF meant. So I looked it up.

“The term ‘TERF’ is an acronym meaning Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and it was initially coined by a feminist blogger named Viv Smythe around 2008. Smythe used the phrase to describe a subgroup of radical feminists that didn’t view trans women’s rights equally to the rest of women’s rights in the feminist movement.”

So, breaking it down, if Rowling said she supports TERF, it simply, means she supports the idea that a subgroup of “radical feminists” profess...that transwomen aren’t women. It does not necessarily mean that she IS a TERF.

But I still have no idea is you are supporting Rowling or claiming that you support her for supporting TERF.

And just so it’s clear I’m not trying to trap you or something, I’ll say up front that, based on the above, I support Rowling for believing that trans women aren’t women, or at least believes that trans women’s rights aren’t equal to the rest of women’s rights.

Honestly, what are the two words? This article doesn’t seem to list them or isn’t very clear to me what they are. I would expect to see the two words with quotations around them.

What are the ‘two words’?

TERF is basically “A woman who believes men can’t be women”

How is it that feminists are not outraged (OUTRAGED!!!) at men misappropriating womanhood.
