Lol! TERF is an acronym that they came up with for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists and even though the acronym came from within their ranks, many now see it as a slur and much prefer the term "gender critical"
Basically, TERFs and the GCs are a radical fringe subset of feminism whose main goal in life is to hate on trans people.They believe all trans women are men and all trans men are women.
This whole movement gained traction in the UK that as noted, many now refer to as TERF island because anti-trans sentiment is rampant there and the UK mainstream media is totally trans hostile.
Anti-trans rhetoric is rife in the British media
British media, ‘your bigotry is killing trans people
