In order to prove that they're not harassing, spiteful assholes, the TERFs (Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminists) over at Gender Identity Watch have posted a neat piece about me after I signed my name to and promoted the Statement of Trans-Inclusive Feminism and Womanism.
1. I do not identify as a liberal feminist.
2. I did not give my consent for my image to be used.
I'm so surprised (I am not the least bit surprised) that TERFs would refuse to respect my self-identity and publicly post personal materials without my consent!
This is the pushback I'm getting for just standing in solidarity with trans*, intersex, non-binary, and/or genderqueer people. Now amplify that exponentially to begin to define the pushback, harassment, bullying, and exposure that gets directed at trans*, intersex, non-binary, and/or genderqueer people, just from feminists alone. In case anyone was wondering why the fuck that statement had to be written in the first place.
[Commenting Note: Should anyone have the urge to argue that TERFs are not "real feminists," or that they are merely a "small but vocal group," don't.]
