Would you look at that? APStyleBook has a Transgender Topical Guide ... because of course they do.
Seems they've finally defined TERF and are pushing for people to avoid using it. Guess even the AP can only pretend men dressing up as women using a slur to attack women who don't agree with men being in their spaces, sports, etc. is acceptable for so long.
See for yourselves:
On our updated Transgender Topical Guide: trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

We recommend avoiding the vague and politicized term to describe cisgender women or others who object to the inclusion of transgender women in women's spaces.https://t.co/HEBdoiEWnM pic.twitter.com/zSet75MbU5
Huh, honesty. Common sense.
Color us shocked.
Cue the freakout:
Those who exclude trans women, in my opinion, disqualify themselves as feminists

Nothing says feminism like giving into the patriarchy.
That is your stance? Shame on you. That makes you no better than TERFs

HA HA HA HA HA
You have GOT to be kidding. What an insult to the people who are victimized by TERFs EVERY DAY. TERFs and SWERFs are very real, and as a feminist scholar and sex worker, I am telling you you are making a huge mistake

Yes, women who refuse to allow men in their spaces are victimizing men.
The horror.
I'd tell you my recommendation for this recommendation, but I don't want to piss off the Twitter gods.

Super classy.
yes avoid those vague euphemisms and simply refer to them as what they are, "anti-trans bigots"
— Steven (they/them)🌈💜🤍🩶🖤 (@zencoffeebreak) June 14, 2023
Should definitely open their mouths a little bit wider when they speak.
If the TERF fits then wear it.
— Martin Piper 💙💛🌻4💉 (@MartinPiper) June 15, 2023
They react this way when women ask not to be referred to as cis as well.
Again, talk about the freakin' patriarchy.
This is why society is losing faith in the institution of education itself, you corporate sugarcoating TERFs. Good work! You just became what you sought to avoid by holding space for the “victim” cis women “& others” *big eyeroll.* Umm, has anyone in your corporation ever been…

How dare anyone tell trans activists not to use gross, hateful slurs to describe women?! The nerve!
shut up terf
— sora 🖤🔆 (@BlackheartSora) June 14, 2023
And they wonder why their movement isn't more popular.
Hilarious the institution thought this would go over well. No style to be seen here. Only bigotry.

So says the bigot insisting on calling women a slur.
