So over it. Not a fan of people saying inflammatory stuff just to get attention.
TERF isn't a catchy term or simply edgy. It describes a specific mindset of gender gatekeeping and fear mongering "in group out group" thinking. This othering of trans people creates dangerous situations for us as people have their fear validated by celebrities and inspire them to "take a stand" against trans people simply for being a part of that group. If that's the crowd Dave wants to cater to and make money off of, then fine. He might think he's untouchable by cancel culture but that's not necessarily a good thing when he owns hate-inspired labels like TERF and popularizes it, making it "cool" to be radical and exclude people from being considered people.
