*Disclaimer* This post is on a site exposing TERFs but we are not insinuating that Being Feminists are part of that group. UPDATE: LA has apologized for and removed the inflammatory post on Being Feminist’s Facebook page! Thank you so much! Dear members, I am the admin ~LA, and I’m writing to say sorry to all the people on the page who were hurt and marginalised either directly or indirectly as a result of my post from yesterday. The post has been deleted. I am sorry that my post made some trans*people feel unsafe here. That was the opposite of my intent. I truly believe in the equality of everyone in the feminist movement, and in the rights of everyone to assert their identity. I believe that everyone has a place in the feminist movement, so long as we all believe in the equality of all PEOPLE, no matter what

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

““Being Feminist” and Their Transphobia Problem” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to feminism and gender politics, while also engaging community and organizing. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.

Historical significance

The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning feminism and gender politics. Published in 2013 by The TERFs, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how community and organizing was framed at that moment.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is civil rights and anti-discrimination and public accommodations and facilities. It links that institutional frame to feminism and gender politics and community and organizing, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
