I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.

You all are so 100% certain you know how to identify radfem and T(W)ERF rhetoric and can’t possibly fall victim to it but guess what.

They are nowhere near above pulling this shit. And you all are falling for it.

And if you think that screenshot is an isolated incident, think again!

There are countless radfem and T(W)ERF blogs that I’ve blocked that said ‘secret radfem sideblog’ in the description.

Like, it’s great that we’ve made being a T(W)ERF so unaccepted on this site that they can only be open about the most toxic of their views in secret side blogs rather than on their main, but it’s time to accept that they’re taking advantage of that in a really fucking insidious way.

Just a tip on how to recognize these blogs. If you follow someone and you start getting suggested t*rf blogs that’s a good sign the person has sideblog for that stuff. There was some cowboy blog I followed a while ago and I used to get follow suggestions saying “this blog is similar to cowboy whatever” and it was a ton of t*rf shit and low and behold they ended up outing themselves

This is why we learn about what actual TERF ideology is. Saying “trans women are women” and “TERFS not allowed” and putting “TERF destroyer” or whatever in your bio is not enough. Learn how TERFs actually work, and what they believe, and where it stems from, and how they express diluted versions in order to warm up non-TERFs to their ideas.

Do the fucking work. Unfollow/block people who express TERF ideas even if they don’t label themselves as TERFs, challenge those ideas in your community, and you won’t have to worry about secret TERF blogs anymore.

Just in case you happen to be unaware, some of the “radfem lite” they post to warm you up to their rhetoric, just off the top of my head:

• Ace/aro exclusionism
• Bi exclusionism or claims that bi people are “less queer” bc of “straight passive privilege”
• Saying you have to be dysphoric to identify as trans
• Invalidating nonbinary people
• Calling queer a slur regardless of context, saying people can’t identify as queer, and saying that it can’t be reclaimed
• “Mogai hell”, “kweer”, or otherwise mocking less common labels and claiming they are “just cishets who want to feel special”
• Excluding sex workers from feminist discussions or claiming that sex work is inherently evil
• Basically anyone who thinks they can determine what other people identify as

More signs of a terf or terf ideology:

• The idea of trans male privilege
• The idea of AMAB privilege
• The idea of passing privilege
• Gatekeeping and policing queen identities, such as claiming that butch and femme are lesbian exclusive terms
• Anti kink or Anti sex positivity
• “No leather at pride”
• Separatism
• Supports cops at pride for “our saftey”
• Refers to anything they can as misogyny (such as the disliking cats is misogynistic)
• Agressivly anti makeup
• Consistent and aggressive “men are evil” posts

• Anti kink or Anti sex positivity
• “No leather at pride”

I just wanna emphasize these two because I feel like personally I’ve been seeing them a lot lately even from people who would recognize and oppose everything else on the list. 

We must never forget that the original radfem movement started with anti-kink, anti-sex, and anti-masculinity ideology.

These are the weapons they use to this day to start the process of converting you, these are the thoughts they use to indoctrinate young and vulnerable queer kids. They are easy to believe and easy to convince you on.

The queer communities first safe place was the kink scene, because we were all deemed freaks and perverts. The kink community welcomed the queer community with open arms, it provided resources. They themselves were innately queer. They queered sex and relationships and bodies.

The first pride parade after stone wall was started by leather daddies. The idea of excluding them is incomprehensible. Leather daddies fought and arrested and beaten and killed for your right to March down that street.

Sex work has kept the queer community alive. Sex work has asserted that we own our bodies.

Sex positivity has asserted the idea that we not lie back and think of England. Sex positivity has fought for the right to legalize “Sodomy” which was illegal in half the country up until 2015 when they were forced to remove those laws.

We can not forget these histories all of which have happened in the past 50 years. This history is younger then some of the parents and grandparents of people on this site. This hisotry is still being made. Do not burn our conception down, do not assimilate, do not conform, do NOT march with the cops.

The queer heros of yesterday, the queer heroes of today, the queers who are dying are those you would condemn.
