I just love how utterly obtuse the TERFs sound when they say "Trans women are not a subset of women, and cis is just a slur, women are women and trans women are not" or similar, like honestly, the terms are all very simple, tall women are a subset of women, brown women are a subset of women, infertile women are a subset of women, and they are all women. They are just bigots who don't want trans women to be part of that group, they want to exclude them. It is just hatred and bigotry, the symantics are just a cover.

brown women are a subset of women, infertile women are a subset of women, and they are all women. You'll probably find that a significant percentage of TERFs would disagree on those 2 points in private...

Lol, absolutely! Bigots gonna bigot, best we can do is not fall for it and be kind to each other.
