what a TERF / TWERF is: a Trans (Woman) Exclusionary Radical Feminist or Trans (Woman) Exterminatory Radical Feminist.

Someone with a specific brand of politics that believes trans women are genital-fetishist male rapists and which pushes dehumanising transmisogynist propaganda against trans women and focuses on passing bills and running bullying campaigns to socially isolate and physically harm / kill trans women.
