I haven't seen the Nazi comparison on Twitter - what was actually said?

TERF stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist, which is basically the description of any sane woman (or I guess man too?) who doesn't accept that a man is a woman. Which is apparently super radical these days, but doesn't have a lot to do with Nazis.

The use of the term is similar to that of antisemite - thrown at anyone who stands up to bullies - whether it's trans ideology in the first case or Zionism in the second.

It was simply 'nazis.' When challenged as to what she meant, it was taken down, Helen. I suspect you may possibly find that the same people slating women could also sympathise with antisemites.

Well written. It's been clear to us for a long time now that you give them the facts and the legalities of something and they turn and attack you personally? Can't ever back up what your challenging. I'm surprised they don't just blow raspberrys at us in all honesty! Total disgrace. I've been experiencing this for months! Many council meetings complaints have gone in about my treatment by certain members. They continue to patronise and make you feel as uncomfortable as possible.

If O’Rourke is a Nazi Terf, then what am I?

I must be even worse, because I still think nuclear power is a good idea, and haven't got a heat pump.

What is "to the right" of a Nazi Terf?

Chris, you're bloody guess is as good as mine. I think we've found ourselves in a parallel universe somehow.
