Sorry only news sources reporting this is the Daily Mail and Telegraph, not worth linking to their thoughts on trans women.

Of note is that Eleanora was elected to the spot and backed by 'Greens for Palestine' . 2 Weeks later she is out on transphobic grounds and seems to have her suspension leaked to the Daily Mail potentially by someone in the Greens.

Please take a look at Kai Taylor, the Greens Party Council member in these discussions.

He is abusing the definition of transphobia to claim Gender Critical ideology is not transphobia. GC also known as TERF is 100% transphobia.

That's not enough?

image

He is endorsed by MumsNet, one of the most prominent TERF hubs and trans hate communities.

Oh and don't forget

Who are Green Women's Declaration? They're the group of transphobes who the Good Law Project is currently defending the Greens party from as of a week ago because they were denied an application to hold a stall at th e Green conference in 2025 because it was felt they made trans members unsafe.

    Gender "critics" aren't the same as TERFs, almost none of them are radical feminists. They're liberal feminists at best, and most of them aren't any kind of feminist.

    TERFs aren’t feminist either.

    Gender Critical is simply the term TERFs use to refer to themselves, even JK Rowling calls herself a GC. It’s the “Pro-Life” to the “Pro-Choice” of abortion, a soft sounding name to help with public perception.

    I think you misunderstand me: Radical Feminism is the belief that patriarchal modes of government are responsible for women's oppression and must be overthrown through revolution. It doesn't inherently exclude trans people, but some radical feminists do, leading to them being labelled TERFs, with non-transphobic radical feminists still just being called radical feminists. Regardless of whether you want to count them among feminists, a prerequisite of being a Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist is that you are a Radical Feminist of some form first.
    JK Rowling, Graham Lineham, and the vast majority of the GC crowd are not radicals. They do not believe there is anything wrong with our current modes of government. They do not believe in revolution. They are not Radicals Feminists, so can't be Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists. They are just bog standard transphobes. GC is the term transphobes use to refer to themselves, it's not limited to TERFs.

    This isn't the 80s, the language has evolved. TERF is a catch-all for the 'biological sex' crowd these days.

    No it hasn't, you just want to legitimise their abhorrent views as feminist.

    Yes a trans woman wants to have terfs seen as feminists, bravo.

    If you don't want to legitimise them why have you spent the entire conversation calling them feminists instead of transphobes?

    I have not?

    And the user before me said they’re not feminist either. You are literally the only one arguing that they are actually feminists.

    How can I be arguing they're feminists when I keep saying they're not TERFs? You're the one absolutely insistent that they're radical feminists.

    You are saying that TERF stands for blah blah blah feninists. That's how you're saying that TERFs are feminists.

    Maybe that's what the term meant to someone in the 80s but it isn't what it means any more.

    I think it's more that you people refuse to read theory and instead absorb a vibes based idea of feminism from social media before parroting the language with no understanding of its meaning. It still means trans exclusionary radical feminist, you just kept using it without ever learning that.

    I think your mistake is trying to hold into a narrow academic definition of a word that means something else in common parlance.

    Kind of like when soil scientist get annoyed when someone calls it "dirt".
