Teen Vogue Contributor Suspended From Twitter After Comments About ‘Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists’
A Teen Vogue contributor faced a permanent ban from Twitter this week after comments she made about “trans exclusionary radical feminists” (more commonly known online as “TERFs”). As the name suggests TERF’s do not believe transgender women should be part of mainstream feminism and have been a point of controversy within feminist theory for a decade.
“If any TERFs like or retweet this, I’m shoving my foot up your ass,” said writer Danielle Corcione in a tweet. Corcione told the Daily Dot that the comment was a joke within a longer thread and a reference to the “That ’70s Show” character Red Forman.
