Is it just me or does this sound transphobic

83. No it doesn't

I am torn on the argument about whether TERF is a slur. I see both sides.

But the argument is not that no true feminist is transphobic, which would be the no true scotsman fallacy. The argument is that the label TERF unfairly links transphobia and feminism, but at no time denies that these women are feminists. I think KCR's argument would be that they should simply be called transphobic. Or maybe feminists who are trasnphobic? I guess I don't see why they can't just be called TERFs if they're going to be called radical feminists who are transphobic. It seems like they're so similar. But the acronym is thrown around pretty carelessly against feminists in general too, and maybe that's KCR's point.

I have known radical feminists, and I'm from Michigan so I'll include some who go (went? I think it was cancelled?) to the Michigan Women's Festival, and I would definitely call them feminists and I would call a lot of them at least somewhat transphobic. I guess I can see the reasoning behind the name TERF, but I see the argument that some people use it as a slur to throw against all feminists too.

This feels very complicated to me. I'm the mom of someone who identifies as non-binary so I feel emotionally mixed up in this issue too.
