If you use “aerf” (asexual exclusionary radial feminist) or “blerf” (bisexual lesbian radical feminist), you are a transmisogynist. Terfs working to keep or make LGBT and feminist spaces hostile to trans women and partnering with with conservatives to pass regulations and legislation that target trans women will never be equivalent to people saying cishet aces/aros aren’t LGBT or people saying that bisexual and lesbian are mutually exclusive terms. By using aerf or blerf you are dismissing and minimizing the harm terfs do.

I just meant an aspec blog who hates bi-lesbians. Personally, as a trans woman I really think that this rhetoric is based in radfem idealogy but what other term would you suggest? :/

ah i see :O

yeah some anti mspec lesbian stuff is def stemmed from/feels really radfem-y (or is... Directly said from radfems bc they Hate bi lesbianism), and is defintely caused by political lesbianism (which often overlaps with radical feminism)

as ive said in a post before, i find it better to point out that things are radfem rhetoric or political lesbian rhetoric than to just call people themselves radfems- it directs the focus to the things theyre saying instead of at the Person so it doesnt feel as much as just, using "radfem" to insult them, thus less likely for people to end up getting mad and defensive- which people gettin defensive just ends up making any possible conversation to be had stunted and go nowhere.

radfem is a wholele ideology, its not really just a thing to throw around to essentially be an insult- which i hate how that kinda thing is so prevalent in the queer community.. with radfem, terf, homophobe/etcphobe, and now is happening with blerf/plerf which most people dont even take seriously to begin with. so many people dont take Any of this stuff seriously anymore bc its constantly used just for anyone that disagrees on things, and its diluting the meaning of these words.

its important to mark the difference between Being a thing and Saying something thats related to it- spreading radfem rhetoric, especially not knowing it is such or how it could be such, does not mean someomes automatically a radfem. calling them a radfem isnt going to help them understand anything better.

so yeah, essentially imo its better to just use "radfem rhetoric" or "political lesbian rhetoric" and pointing out the specific talking points, instead of just labeling people radfems or such. i think itll help things actually be able to be talked about better (at least, for those that are willing to talk things out)

if bi women can call themselves lesbians then what term are actual lesbians going to use to communicate that they’re exclusively attracted to women huh
