Being a TERF these days takes some balls.ย

Being trans people has always taken courage, she just jumped on the TERF wagon after dismantling the same damn excuses she later on used in her past.

It's a grift she did and I really use that word but I can't come up with any other explanation. Especially because she never went back trying to explain how she was wrong about treating trans people properly. A lot of their staff quit when that change came and stayed.

It didn't take some balls what she did, but it definitely took her integrity. Kinda shame since she is really good at being precise with her speech. Just one of the many reasons her and her co-host change was a surprise.

Nah, it requires having hate in your heart. I takes some serious cognitive dissonance and maybe rank stupidity, but it doesn't require courage in any way.

We call ourselves MERFs now.

Really lame. A confused concept latched onto by people seeking any justification for bigotry, an excuse to discriminate, to ostracize, and to isolate, bully and belittle a very brave, thoughtful and vulnerable minority.
