Read on Twitter
Bro I& #39;ve been in twitter circles with a huge population of lgbt teens long enough to see how terf/radfem rhetoric spreads. So lemme try and spell it out.
It usually starts out with man-hating, which seems *pretty* reasonable on its own. I hate men, men are the oppressors, etc.

Fair, right? But here& #39;s the rest of radfem rhetoric that& #39;s often spread on social media. It& #39;s never usually stated like this, usually implied so you won& #39;t realize the message behind it. Which brings us to the next step: Gatekeeping.
It starts off with gatekeeping "nonsense" identities- the low-hanging fruit, for a lack of better terms. People will take something like "bi lesbian" or "beegender" that& #39;s easy for teens to attack, because "that makes no sense! you& #39;re harming the rest of us!"
And then it moves onto ace exclusionism, which usually starts with "wtf is a demisexual? stop inventing a label for people who don& #39;t do hookups." And quickly moves onto "cishet aces aren& #39;t LGBT". But that& #39;s not all.
Anti-kink/Anti-porn. It starts with saying certain kinks involving grown consenting adults are "harmful/pedophilia", and sex workers are "catering to pedos". And then it& #39;s "porn is harmful and rots the brain" -- which I have seen coming directly from a teen HAIKYUU stan.
And the implication that women cannot ever choose to do sex work without being forced-- that& #39;s terf rhetoric 1000%.
Also, an interesting fact that& #39;s relevant to fandomgoers: terfs invented anti-fujoshi. They used fujoshi as a slur against trans men who liked BL.

Fujoshi-bullshit was an antifujo blog on tumblr, Mod M admitted that they& #39;re homophobic and don& #39;t give a fuck about gay men. Also: "men cannot feel love" - RADFEM.
