Is TERF A Slur?

Dominique Samuels, Esther De La Ford, Bec Wonders and Ruby Streek discuss the acronym TERF, short for trans-exclusory radical feminist.

Political commentator Dominique Samuels, Relationship educator Esther De La Ford, Ph.D. student Bec Wonders and artist Ruby Streek discuss the acronym TERF (Trans-exclusionary radical feminist).

Some of our panel consider it an insult while for others it鈥檚 a factual term for transphobic behaviour. They all agree that it鈥檚 a source of division and tension amongst feminists. Is it being used to shut down those who have concerns about unintended consequences of trans-activism or a valid way of calling out intolerance?
