#ProTip: the term “TERF” isn’t a trans word, it’s a feminist term created by cis feminists in 2008 to stop the colonization of radical feminism by people obsessed with the eradication of transness who called themselves radical feminists.
The pioneering radical feminist collective, the Lesbian Tide was run by a trans-identified Lesbian.

TERFs harassed the radfem groups Sisters & Cell 16 into closing because they were staunchly trans-inclusive.
The radical feminist collective Olivia paid for trans care and physically stopped TERFs from murdering Oliva member Sandy Stone because she was trans.
The Lesian Avengers had a mob of TERFs threaten a 15 year old member with a knife just because she was trans.
After TERFs threatened to disrupt the largest Lesbian gathering ever -the radfem West Coast Lesbian Confrence- unless the Con kicked out trans women. They voted twice to be trans inclusive, so TERFs began physically beating pro-trans cis women.
The radical feminists at WCLC physically protected trans women from TERFs. WCLC radfems like like Robin Tyler was beaten by TERFs. She went on to create a trans-inclusive Women’s festival.
BTW, the oldest Women’s Fest in America is trans-inclusive... and it’s still rockn’!

Started in 1974, the National Women’s Music Fest just happened this July in Wisconsin.

We hear @TheAtlantic is considering publishing more of Jesse Singal's anti-trans concern trolling. @emcollective should be aware that Singal lies a lot re: trans issues. For the sake of children, BE SURE YOU FACT CHECK before publishing misinformation:

Also, you should see Jesse Singal's misinformation being fact-checked on @thinkprogress:
