The TERFminator – Lesbian feminist and queer activist attacks "gender critical" transphobes
You need to take a look at what the Norwegian lesbian feminist and LGBTQA-activist Brita Møystad Engseth has to say about "trans-exclusionary radical feminists."
In an interview with the magazine Blikk she says:
"My rage came as much from their open transphobia [of the TERFs] as the fact that they are using cancel culture as a shield. The transphobes say that we must defend the freedom of speech, but they have no freedom of speech problem. What they are really trying to do is to stop others from telling their story."
In an article in the Norwegian newspaper Dagblader Brita described TERFs as "mørkekvinner" (dark women), referring to the previous generations of "dark men" – men who fought against openness, enlightenment and the freedom of thought. In Norway the term was often used about sexist, transphobic and homophobic priests.
"I cannot remain silent when I see that we are starting all over again, 30 years after we fought against the dark men," she says.
