Once again, I reject the term TERF because feminism is a political movement dedicated to freeing women from restrictive definitions of womanhood. You want your own movement dedicated to reducing women to biology? There's a word for that. It's called misogyny. Get feminism out of your mouth.

I could not disagree with you more. The harm is in adhering to a false binary system of categorization. We need to expand our gender categories along with our compassion.

... I'm literally calling for us to move away from restrictive gender roles. How is that not expanding gender categories?

Expanding the definition of what is a woman (or a man) is not helpful and creates further disadvantages for biological women. I am suggesting additional categories that better serve the spectrum of humanity.

I actually like the term FART- feminist appropriating radical transphobe.

I've always hated the term TERF also. You can't be a feminist and deny rights to any group. Period.
