It’s interesting to read this tweet right after watching the impeachment trial. There’s a similar sense of outrage, of marginalized people who have been badly and unfairly treated for so long they can’t take it anymore. Womanhood has been unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from them, and there’s no compromise or concession when there’s THEFT involved. Now is the time to be strong, for if they don’t they won’t have their humanity anymore. Fight, fight, fight.
@Papito: I’ve seen GC happily refer to themselves as the Terven.
But we’re told that trans-identifying people are always so sweet and gentle, and can be trusted literally everywhere to do no harm…
Once again the TRAs demonstrate their utter stupidity. Yes, if people were killed laws might change, but not in a way that favours trans rights. Historically the British state has not smiled on terrorists. If TRAs began a terrorist campaign (which to be fair to them seems unlikely, for a number of reasons) they would find that official tolerance swiftly came to an end, as would any public sympathy for them. It would however be amusing if universities were obliged to report TRAs under the Prevent strategy. The squeals of outrage would be delicious to hear.
By that logic, the Civil Rights movement succeeded after beginning to murder whites, and women won the vote after killing some men?
I don’t think that’s what actually happened though.
Also glad the screenshots are preserved, since I bet that tweet will be deleted soon.
Indeed. There are a lot of screenshots (of this one tweet), and a lot of people sharing them.
I find myself perturbed that the twits didn’t invent a plural form for their made up word “TERF.” So lazy! I suggest TERFen.

Sastra, found this at Urban Dictionary.
Added to my vocabulary.

I chuckled to myself when I read on a Facebook post that was a red rag to the gender critical:
Hark! The thunder of terven hooves approacheth!

Apparently ‘terfyn’ means ‘boundary’ in Welsh.
Really? How entirely appropriate. Needs a Beach Boys style song, Terfyn USA, about radical feminism and the enforcement of boundaries.
Okay, guest, you’ve given me my new “pronoun” if I am forced to state my pronouns at work. Terfyn. I like it.
Sackbut, Terfyn USA – brilliant!
I wanna share a simple notion / Across the USA
About the need to get terfyn / Gotta start today.
Before the TRA people / Can take our rights away
Everybody start terfyn / Terfyn USA……
