  too cowardly to speak

  Have you considered making an effort to be a person they would like to speak with?

    They should make the effort to be worth talking to.

    How about being a compassionate human being who tries to understand the conversation partner’s fears without bowing down to misinformation? If that’s not enough for them because they see debunking their bunk as personal attack, I don’t think anyone in their cult is an acceptable conversation partner for them.

      That works both ways. Everything you’ve said could be seen as applying from the perspective of either party.

        As a biologist, your statement would amuse me if there wasn’t so much harm being done to trans and gender non-conforming people.

        TERFs invoke half-remembered high-school level biology as if it was mathematical fact. In actual biological reality, nothing is binary or absolute.

    lmfao, who the fuck cares who TERFs like to speak with? I don’t like speaking with TERFs, all the better if they don’t speak to me.
