[edit]Gender-critical feminism
[edit]Claire Thurlow noted that since the 2010s, there has been a shift in language from "TERF" to "gender critical feminism," which she described as "dog-whistle politics whereby the phrases act as a coded message of anti-transness to those initiated." Researcher Aleardo Zanghellini argues that "gender-critical feminism advocates reserving women's spaces for cis women" [1]. Mauro Cabral Grinspan, Ilana Eloit, David Paternotte and Mieke Verloo argued that "we see the expression ‘gender-critical feminism’ – a self-definition by some individuals and groups labelled TERFs by others – as problematic because it serves specific actors to ‘rebrand’ their anti-trans activism and to legitimise their own positions."
Immersive Fiction
[edit]Deborah Shaw, critiques the term "immersive fiction", coined by Kathleen Stock in her book Material Girls, used to compare transgenderism to "playing video games and acting".[2] The concept of immersive fiction provides implications that transgender people, specifically transgender women, are living in an world of fiction, and essentially are living lives of inauthenticity.
Sex-Based Rights
[edit]Human rights scholar Sandra Duffy described the concept of "sex-based rights" as "a fiction with the pretense of legality," noting that the word "sex" in international human rights law does not share the implications of the word "sex" in gender-critical discourse and is widely agreed to also refer to gender. Catharine A. MacKinnon noted that "the recognition [that discrimination against trans people is discrimination on the basis of sex, that is gender, the social meaning of sex] does not, contrary to allegations of anti-trans self-identified feminists, endanger women or feminism", they expand by saying "women do not have 'sex-based rights' in the affirmative sense some in this group seem to think.". Disagreements arise amongst feminists and trans-exclusionary feminists, as the inclusion/exclusion of transgender women polarizes both parties. There is debate if the inclusion of transgender women in feminism harvests a stronger and inclusive community, or if further oppresses cis-gender women.
