Yes, of course.
Glaston: "The term terf is just dehumanizing language made up by trans absolutists to shut down discussion."
Soph: "The person I'm calling a terf literally calls herself a terf, just look at her twitter bio."
Glaston: "What is this picture supposed to prove?"
Go back to arguing that India's democratic institutions exist as a gift from British colonialism.
The picture shows someone who has been called a "terf" deciding for whatever reason to claim the term - not that she invented it. For my part I neither know nor care who Posie Parker is and hold no brief to defend her.
And yes, the "terf" is a dehumanizing term made up by trans absolutists to to try and shut down discussion.
Your earlier post said I was not engaging with specifics, so here's some specific questions for you:
1) Is a lesbian being hateful and transphobic if she says that she doesn't want to have a sexual relationship with a physiologically male transwoman?
2) If someone self-identifies as being a different gender to that recorded at their birth, do they have the right to insist that everyone else around them - society at large - should be obliged to share in their self-identification? (Note that this question has nothing to do with treating trans-people with respect and decency, which of course should happen.)
3) Are - as trans-absolutists insist is true - all transwomen
literally women in every single way that non-transwomen are women? And ditto for transmen in relation to those recorded at birth as being male?
