To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

    I was confused because despite the title suggesting she’s a TERF, this sounds on the face of it like a pretty trans-inclusive statement.

      I’m pretty sure she isn’t a TERF, Caroline is a left-wing pop culture/politics streamer.

        She’s not a TERF. There was one incident where she retweeted something that made people accuse her of being a TERF, but she’s got a solid explanation for it. Otherwise, I can find plenty of tweets where she is quite supportive of trans people.

        Here’s the source of the confusion:

          I found one tweet where she talked about the need to have trans actors play trans roles. I don’t think that would even occur to many TERFs.

      Ah, if she’s not a TERF it is pretty inclusive. The title made it sound like this person is a transphobe though and I have no idea who they are.
