2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

MODERATORS
TERFs love to play this game where TERF is actually a misogynistic slur, even when it completely accurately describes their bigotry. It reframes them as victims of misogyny instead of bigots.
Do they pretend that they don't hate trans women? Is this like the "I'm not racist, but..." people?
No. They pretend that acknowledging trans women erases womanhood itself and is the ultimate mysogyny.
Depends on the audience, very often they will pay lip service to the idea that trans people shouldn’t be criminalized out of existence, and then with a more fashy audience just start goose stepping and talking about all the ways trans people should be criminalized out of existence. Even JKR has done that song and dance, saying that “if trans people were oppressed” she would march for them. 🙄
Rowling has done that, yeah.
She's literally said that she'd march with trans people if our rights were under attack, whilst attacking our rights.
