Sorry for the lack of link, site is reactionary so I can’t link directly, and trying to save it to web.archive just gives a blank page EDIT: citrussy_capybara kindly provided a link to a working archive. CW for (obviously) mega transphobia.
Anyway, here’s all the proof you need that TERFism isn’t about protecting women from men, it is and always has been about hating trans people.
I assume this is some stupid slur that I haven’t heard before?
Exactly.
More (extremely transphobic) details:
TIM stands for “trans-identified male”, it’s what TERFs call trans women and transfem people more generally, and also apparently cis woman Imane Khelif (I am become jonkler).
There’s a transmasc counterpart, TIF for “trans-identified female”.
I’m sure a huge part of the draw here is that Tim is a man’s name while Tif (short for Tiffany) is a woman’s name.
It’s more “They call us TERFs and we don’t like it so we will make up an acronym for THEM and see how THEY like it!” It really is that petty. Also the trans denialism.
It is.
