Would it be inaccurate to describe TERFs as misogynists?

Because when you break down what they're saying, they're basically being misogynists.  Especially when being "misandrist."

Let's tell them that.  Ten bucks says their heads explode.

Ten bucks say nothing happens other than they get angry.

If their being both, wouldn't that make them a misanthrope?

I wouldn't think so - a misanthrope seems to just hate society in general, but the way some of these TERFs (and radfems) talk about women, you'd think they were helpless creatures with no sexuality.

Men can't call themselves Feminists because reasons.

Well, if Tumblr was my first encounter with feminists, I wouldn't want to call myself one either.

If what you care about as accuracy, call them transphobic. If you want to piss them off, sure, call them misogynists.

I say we just call them a horde of moronic barbarians.  Or arseholes, if you want to be concise.

I accept this compromise.

I hate that fucking emoticon.  That fucking emoticon style in general.  I don't know why, but it infuriates me to my very core.  Its like the emoticon version of pop music.

Specifically J-Pop

Could you explain the bad part to me?
I have a feeling I'm missing something in this.

I don't know which is worse; that or people who use character sprites from Dangan Ronpa (basically Battle Royale: The Visual Novel, with an adorably evil-mastermind critter to rival Puella Magi Madoka Magica's Kyubey). They all make these shitty posts more smug.

There's a subset of "trans" people on tumblr who say you can be trans without feeling any sort of dysphoria about your body whatsoever, even though that's pretty much the defining characteristic of being trans.  They call other trans people who disagree with them "truscum", and accuse them of wanting to be cis like it's an insult, despite the fact that, yeah, that's the whole point of transitioning.  I think some of them also view being trans as some sort of special "other" gender.  Some apparently accuse trans people who want to transition as being "transphobic" and suffering from internalized cissexism.

This post is basically saying that, since "truscum" want to be cis and also that you must experience dysphoria to be trans, then they should already be viewing non-dysphoric trans people as cis, so logically the feeling of dysphoria is in their head and should stop feeling dysphoric, then they'd be cis like they wanted.  I'm pretty sure the second response is mocking the first one, saying that would be like telling depressed people to just be happy.
