New Zeitgeist Term of the Week: "TERF"
If we have learned anything in 2019, it is the reality that the far left is a religious cult. They enforce a strict rule of code that if one violates it, there is quick and sudden condemnation. The latest is author J.K. Rowling. Rowling is a self-identified feminist, but she made the awful, terrible decision to challenge a portion of the intersectional order. In a recent tweet, she commented on transgender identity:
Dress however you please.Call yourself whatever you like.Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.Live your best life in peace and security.But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 19, 2019
That tweet sparked outrage among the transgender community, hence the new Zeitgeist Term of the Week: TERF. What is a TERF you ask? A TERF is an intersectional slur that stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist." That's right: a radical feminist like Rowling is a TERF if she has the audacity to challenge the effort by trans-men to replace women.This is where the radical left goes from crazy to absurd. Here's the logic: feminists have fought for women's rights for decades. Now men who identify as women can enter into the roles women have fought for thus defeating the decades of struggle for rights that feminists have fought for.The most visible area where you see this intersectional craziness is in sports. Gender confused men are entering into women's sports as women and quickly dominate that sport. And if a woman happens to raise her hand and question the fairness of this new reality, she is quickly shamed and silenced. If she happens to be a feminist who questions the saneness of men taking a woman's place because they identify as a woman, then she is publicly labeled a TERF.Remember, things are not falling apart, they are falling into place.
