I think that this birbsite thread about TERF views in mainstream discourse is very relevant to the discussion: https://twitter.com/bogiperson/status/856928214152826880

(Aaand that's everything I'm going to say. Don't think this topic deserves as much attention as it gets, really.)

@abgd :D yeah :s I think the view is often held out of real concern to do the right thing and not hurt anyone, but the amount of topics that are being overlooked + the maybe not always huge, but definitely there tie to TERF stuff makes this soooo fishy.

@maunzikation I was about to make a snarky toot about how ppl are like "Don't use 'gay' a slur!" but then like "Don't use 'queer' it's a slur!" and the double standard there, but it makes sense that this is just TERF discourse leaking in and then my snark is unnecessary 😌
