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.
"And what the heck is a TERF anyway"
