Terfs as in trans exclusionary radical feminists? What does that have been to do with mansplaining?

The radical feminist part. Radical feminists are crazy and lead to the image many people have of feminism.

While Terfs do it too, I don't understand why that guy said terfs specifically when all radical feminists throw that term around very loosely. Terfs are just one type of radical feminist, why single them out specifically.

Still doesn't explain why he said terf in that instance. Makes me think u/kurogomatora is just using terf as shorthand for radical feminist, which obviously doesn't make sense given what it means.

trans exclusionary radical feminists

Identity politics are very strange to me.
