[R. U. Sirius]

Stupid question, but what's a TERF?

It's an acronym that stands for Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminist.

So like the Diannic Wicca ladies?

Precisely.

Though I do believe that quite a few Dianic Wiccan covens splintered off from the main group by becoming accepting of trans women, after the controversy that happened at that one event.

Are they really accepting, or do they just say they are?

Ask them, I'm not interested in Dianic Wicca

I would hope they're really accepting.  Otherwise they rebelled for nothing.

What controversy are you talking about?

There was an event (like some sort of pagan convention) where a Dianic Wiccan coven/group of covens turned away transwomen from a skyclad event (read: naked dancing) because "seeing penises in their group would traumatize these women" and how Dianic Wicca was "only for real women" or something like that.

These are the kinds of Dianic Wiccans that tend to be labeled "TERFs".

[Barbarella]

A rude term for someone who's transgender. Similar to shemale, tranny, transvestite, etc.

I see, thanks!

Yuck, like weirdos such as Wotan's Krieger, they give NeoPaganism a bad name.

There are people in every belief system who give it a bad name.  Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Atheist, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Agnostic, etc.  We really need to learn to focus on the religion as a whole, rather than its worst members.

[Witchyjoshy]

Technically, focusing on religion as a whole includes its worst members, rather than excludes them.

Like, I'm not gonna cry if people complain about all the racist, white supremacy fuckwits in Asatru and other Norse-related religions.  They need to be complained about.  Not to mention the conservative nature and a militarism that puts fundamentalist Christianity (at least in its current state) to shame.

What I'm saying is that we shouldn't judge these religions by the assholes who happen to be members.

But it is somewhat disingenuous to not judge religions when entire branches are populated by assholes and the conspicuously silent. In some instances it would be fairer to label them as assholes and make note of the exceptions. American evangelical Protestantism and homosexuality or Roman Catholicism and abortion for example.

We have had this comic here before.

...I still think that the cutest part is how the colours of their hands are mixing a bit.

Sorry.

I didn't notice that!  Thanks for pointing it out.

Somewhere, I think, maybe.

No clue.

Okay.  Just wondering.
