 Similarly they sometimes use the word "womyn". This alternate spelling was originally meant as a way to avoid the suffix 'man'. However it was adopted by TERFs to mean cis women. TERFs also use the womyn-born-womyn (WBW) to mean "women raised as women", to exclude anyone assigned male at birth.
-=== Hatred of Men ===
+=== Prejudice Against [[AMAB]] people ===
-TERFs believe that all men are inherently oppressive and cannot change this. Trans women, and anyone assigned male at birth are included in this definition of "men". They believe that because they were born and were raise as men they are also inherently oppressive to women and cannot experience oppression due to being women.
+TERFs believe that all men are inherently oppressive and cannot change this due to the way they enforce the patriarchy. Trans women, and anyone assigned male at birth are included in this outdated definition of "men". They believe that because they were born and were raised as men they do not understand what it's like to be a woman and benefit from male privilege.
+=== View on Transmasculine People ===
+As with many conversations on trans people, [[transmasculine]] people, such as [[transgender]] men and [[AFAB]] [[Non-Binary|nonbinary]] people, are often left out of the conversation. When they are acknowledged, TERFs often brand them as gender non-conforming lesbians with internalized misogyny.
 === Biphobia ===
-Biphobia is rampant in TERF groups. Because they hate all men they believe that relationships with men (and trans women), particularly sexual relationships, are oppressive and women who willingly form relationships with men, such as [[straight]] women or [[bisexual]] women are oppressing themselves due to societal pressure. As such many TERFs are lesbians and refuse to be romantically involved with bisexual women under the belief that they've been "tainted" by men.

 === Sex Shaming ===
-TERFs are also against kinky sex, believing that dom/sub interactions, even between two women, mirror the oppressive relationship between men and women. Therefore TERF ideology asserted that the only "pure" form of sex is vanilla sex between two (strictly lesbian) cis women.

 Many TERFs are also sex-worker exclusionary radicial feminists, or SWERFs.

 == Flag ==
-The TERF 'pride flag' that is being used is also a highly saturated version of the [[genderqueer]] flag. They are attempting to steal the pride and flag of genderqueer individuals through this.
+The TERF 'pride flag' is based on the flag for the women's suffrage movement. It is often mistaken as the [[genderqueer]] pride flag due to its similar color scheme.
