The problem is that you are saying "TERF" is a slur by using a wide definition but then using the narrow definition to claim it's a travisty to be called a "TER

The problem is that you are saying "TERF" is a slur by using a wide definition but then using the narrow definition to claim it's a travisty to be called a "TERF". The point is that "TERF" is not on the same level as the n-word, f-word or the t-word which you are likening it to when you insist it's a slur. It's simply not harmful to call someone a "TERF" like it is to use slurs against the groups that TERFs are marginalizing.

You’re putting words in my mouth. All I’m saying is that it was silly to insist that it isn’t a slur.

  Ok, but do you understand why it's incorrect to consider it a slur in this context?

    No. Like I said, it’s silly to insist that it isn’t a slur. The whole argument is rather silly, frankly.
