I've never heard the term before, but it does sound like a squad of feminists who hang out considering they were in a brawl together?

LOL no its not that. Its not a group. TERF is what transactivists call them (whilst threatening violence and that) and it literally these days means any woman who believes biological sex is a real thing and that in some areas of life, it does actually matter

Edit. Sites a bit outdated now...but https://terfisaslur.com/ should give you an idea of quite how 'terf' is used

Ohhh, got it.

I'd need to know more about the story I guess... how did the transactivits determine they were 'terfs' would be a big decider on how I feel about the people on both sides of the story

Obviously I don't condone the violence, but just curious as to whether the 'terfs' were completely innocent victims.

The women were meeting to discuss upcoming changes to the law which would basically mean that anyone can 'self-ID'.

Transactivists shut the venue down to start with by threatening them. So venue was rebooked and kept quiet. Women were meeting at speakers corner to go onto the venue, so that new venue could not be threatened. Transactivists planned violence against the women to start with..then turned up to do it

Its all a bit much to write down as I don't quite know how much you know about how things are at the min with this whole trans thing

Above video explains it probably better than I can (also has video of the attack). Uploader is a lesbian woman who was thrown out of her LGBT group at uni for saying she would not sleep with a transwoman (male person...er...lesbian?!). Which is sadly a 'common' view now...that sex does not actually exist, seeing sex is transphobic, ergo all sexualities are actually transphobic. But only lesbians get it in the neck...

She has loads of other videos on the subject too and she highlights quite how far down the rabbit hole this is now
