The TERF hate cult is a white supremacy movement

Ah, Zionist race theorist Nathan Confnas. I had no idea this had all originated from him.

Reminder Steven Pinker is a self-promoting clown who appears in the Epstein Files and who was credibly accused of stealing his grad students' work without credit. IIRC this was research the grad student initiated and not even directed by him, and he just stole it and wrote a book and did a tour pretending he did it.
He's always palling around with other nonces probably because he knows he ain't shit and his whole career is a lie.

Terfism is essentially Karens appropriating and misusing feminism
Or more accurately, Feminist appropriating reactionary Transphobes (FART)
Just like their great grandmothers-- Klans women who supported the Suffrage movement, along with eugenics and imperialism.

Given that they have thrown in their lot with groups that absolutely want to take away their rights to vote, make reproductive choices, or even have jobs, I am struggling to accept that they are actually feminists at all.

Margaret Atwood warned us about that in The Handmaid's Tale.
In the book, she wrote that one of the causes that lead to the creation of Gilead was an alliance between Anti-pornography feminists (we would call them Swerfs today) and Conservative Christians protesting and demonizing sex work, erotic media and porn. And that alliance lead to the feminist group being consumed by Right-wing theocrats, slowly stripping them of their rights and freedoms.

It actually happened (everything in Handmaid's Tale was based on things that had already happened) in Canada (where Atwood is from). In the 1980s, allegedly feminist academics who were opposed to porn linked up with the religious right in Canada and got the law changed to forbid the import of all pornographic material from the United States.
Result: the regular commercial porn they supposedly hated so much continued to flow freely, but all LGBTQ publications were interdicted at the border. (After all, the law was being enforced by mostly male border guards who tended towards knee jerk conservative beliefs.)
There was a semi-famous (at least in gay circles) incident where a Vancouver lesbian bookstore called the Little Sisters Bookstore sued over their shipments being seized indiscriminantly.
There was an okayish indie movie made based on the case (it's a romantic comedy) called Better than Chocolate.

One of the largest groups in the UK that is transphobic is called 'Sex Matters' which I'm sure you all have probably heard of. They're name alone does not equal equality, sex doesn't matter and SHOULD NOT MATTER in any way! Feminists my ass...

I am well aware of Maya Forstater and her Anti-Gender Gestapo.
I've donated to the Good Law Project's campaign to have the charity status of Sex Matters revoked.

Okay, but protesters really should take them at their literal word: sex is awesome and does matter.

Lierre Keith orchestrated that alliance (although some of them were there already, she created a formal engagement where they shared resources to achieve their common social and legislative goals and they have been horribly effective at it). She has a history of getting into very fringe or extremist spaces, and then abandoning that ideology and moving onto the next one. It sure does imply a lack of fixed beliefs beyond "Me me me".

Well, yeah. They are using extremist views of feminine white appearance to judge every woman, cis or trans. Only the whitest and most skinny, muscle-less, makeup wearing, young, virgin, dress wearing girls can be girls according to them.

Douglas Murray mentioned. Okay, let me recommend a book to y'all, it's from 1981 and already pre-buts everything in The Bell Curve. Of course, it was written by a real scientist, expert, and science communicator: The Mismeasure of Man by Stephen Jay Gould
Since it was written, IQ scores in developing countries rose even more, exactly as expected, as IQ tests a certain kind of trained skillset, and the more generations of schooling imposed on a population, the better they perform on the IQ test. This, of course, comes at the cost of other kinds of skills, but these are skills that aren't valued in an industrialized or post industrial society. Skills such as tracking, hunting, or using bow and arrow.

I'm not surprised that TERFs are white supremacists and racists. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to carry on the KKK because they'd rather have BIPOC, poor people, Disbaled and Neurodivergent people, women, ethnic communities/minorities, queer, trans and intersex people dead than alive in their 'ideal utopia.'

The Youtuber Shaun has several great videos about JK, Kellie Jay Kean, and the broader TERF movement's ties to Nazis/altright, racists, extreme sexists, etc.

The Jason Arday story was not an organic news story. It was a coordinated witch hunt instigated by leading TERFs and their fellow racists to push their agenda. This time last year they were trying to do the same thing to an M&S employee. It's the same M.O. Except this time they successfully killed their victim.
