    As a TERF, I'm triggered by the explicit 'T' in that regexp.

      Trans-Exlusionary Radical Feminist. Originally just named radical feminism. The basis of radical feminism is that gender is a social construct forced upon people at birth and are roles specifically designed to keep women subordinate to men (masculinity vs.feminity).

      Have you had the operation yet? What will it be in the future? FatPhillipe? FatFran?

        I think you have it backwards. Someone who says they're a TERF has a real hatred towards trans women. I like to trigger TERFs almost as much as I do APK.

          That would make a gynophile the opposite of a TERF, making TERF a misogynist?
          If so, why not just use the word misogynist? Is it too hard to remember how to spell?

            TERFs are misogynistic. Their belief that gender is just a social construct is an excuse to put down women who are pushing the lie that gender discrimination is the woman's fault.

        I wonder why this is the only one to imply a specific skin colour?

          Because all the other minorities have a distinctive identity. And you can't play identity politics without identities.
