Alice Snedden’s Bad News: TERFs | The Spinoff

You've probably heard the term used in relation to high-profile people like J.K. Rowling, but what are trans exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, really all about? In this episode, Alice heads to Wellington to meet with the world’s first transgender MP Georgina Beyer, and transgender advocate Caitlin Spice to hear their experiences living in a society built upon rigid gender roles. Why are we so afraid of trans people? And do TERFs deserve a place in feminism? From there, Alice attends the Feminism 2020 event hosted by “gender critical” group Speak Up For Women hoping to ask some questions of their most prominent members. What happens instead involves a police report, a legal battle and not a hell of a lot of free speech.

Trans rights are human rights! 💕

Loved this, it doesn’t even have to engage with harmful TERF arguments to discredit them. Perfect

The seven dislikes are the TERFs.

Alice may just be the very best thing I have come across on this site in the last year! She’s utterly brilliant!

Amazing episode. By the way, what was the "she's got bad news" song used in the intro?

[@SR-pp1yy]
