How the word 'Terf' came to be. (horribly misused for people who aren't feminists, radical or otherwise. "Transphobe" is generally clearer and more accurate)

Yeah - I try to keep TERF applied to those who actually claim to be feminists (and they certainly aren't radical. they're reactionary, so I like Trans Exclusionary Reactionary Feminists as a recontextualization, or maybe "Fascists"... if we're going to not use it for self-appelled feminists (especially since if you think trans women are women, then they're neither radical nor feminists if they exclude trans women).

But yeath Transphobe is probably better so we don't start inadvertently calling conservatives who use feminists to push transphobic agendas, and conflating the two. You're doing the reactionaries work for them by making it seem like they are also feminists.

The play that movie was based on was reviewed as "mystifyingly awful."

I really want to know how this happened. Who made the decisions that led to that then becoming a movie?
