In the age of J.K. Rowling being called TERF could probably majority of population be called TERFs, I see such labels no longer useful. And unless you subscribe to notions such as guilt by association, ancestral sin and similar I don't know how is conduct of developer's spouse relevant.
- Angostura 6y agoWell, that's an easy way to render all labels unusable to you isn't. I saw a really odd object labelled as a table once. I now have literally no idea what a table is.
- 488643689 6y agoAs I mentioned we're talking about the the migration of reddit's GC, which is a community actively harassing and willfully hurting trans people. You know, some things are actually real.
- icy 6y agoI actually checked out r/GenderCritical just before it got banned -- and it's nothing like what you describe it as. I only found mature, good faith discussions regarding the trans issue.
- 488643689 6y agoYes, same as the /r/the_donald and the other freedom-loving, harmless, open debate subs banned. Guess, Reddit just hates women and white people.

- Spivak 6y agoI feel like the case you're trying to make that JK is a "normal" person and therefore her views are common. This isn't an instance where someone who happens to hold an unorthodox opinion is caught by people trying to apply labels to her. She isn't getting caught up in the fight between feminists and the broader cultural push for trans acceptance. She's been on the front lines of this fight for years and years. It just happens that one, people are starting to actually care about trans people and two, JK decided to start venting more publicly on the largest outrage machine on the internet. Very few people are TERFs. It's a relatively uncommon set of beliefs which are separate from the kinds of views that might get you called transphobic.
- dependenttypes 6y agoUnlike J.K. Rowling (I only know about a few dramas, maybe there were some that I missed) this person is an actual TERF. He basically says that because a trans person once molested a girl then all transgender people are bad, along with all the other usual TERF arguments. See https://blog.alexgleason.me/trans/ https://blog.alexgleason.me/trans/ for his opinions. Although I personally do not think that the authors personality/opinions/etc should be considered when selecting software so I denounce 488643689's post. I would understand boycotting a paid product if the company producing it was engaged in unethical behaviour (such as abusing their employees, etc) but this is not close to what is happening here.
