The one thing I oppose in social relations is this obsession with LABELS. Everyone doesn't NEED to be slotted into a particular group. To me we are all persons first. No labels required.

I learned about the existence of transgender people nearly 50 years ago in a youth group whose conference I participated in annually. I also learned, backed up by solid evidence, that heterosexual people of either biological structure (male or female) make up only about 40% of human beings. So let's knock it off with the labelling and look at everyone as a person first, and all their other characteristics as necessary so their needs can be met.
And what the heck is a TERF anyway? Doesn't sound like anyone I want to be. See "labels" above.
Yeah, as Dave says, TERF originally stood for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. But more recently has become a slur for anybody, whether they're radical or feminist or even trans exclusionary, who thinks that sometimes women's rights, based on their biological sex, are important.
I"d love it if we could evolve past the need to label everything. But that's not quite the same as arguing we shouldn't label anything. Whether somebody loves men or women in't important in any context I can think of. But whether somebody *is* a man or a woman is important in a few.

TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
I'd like to see your solid evidence for only 40% of humanity being heterosexual. That is a far cry from any statistics I've ever seen.
As for knocking off the labeling, tell that to the trans people.
That "no labels" junk is bubbling liquid manure.
People strive HARD to fit into categories. You sound like you're from some other planet where life is not based on carbon.
Forty percent heterosexual. Tell me this is a troll.
