On my previous post, commenter KuraZed asked:
What is the collective noun for TERFs? Is it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sod?
But day before yesterday, this happened:
At time of posting, tweet still live at https://twitter.com/didoreth/status/1450927815298277383
… so I propose that from now on, it’s “coop”. A coop of TERFs, clucking nonstop nonsense.
I checked, you know. Held my nose and looked at this user’s profile. It doesn’t appear to be a parody. Either this is legit TERFposting insanity, or someone has created a truly exquisite Poe account.
Oh I wouldn’t even have looked. That’s such stock terfery and and terf way of presenting oneself that it could be copy-pasted from a few hundred other shitheads. I love Peanuts Marcie and find this offensive on that level as well.
wow i’m dense as hell lol just noticed the mistake for which this cluck was singled out. yeah, that would raise a doubt.
I related this gaffe to my housemates, and one of them, Mike, immediately said “Mothercluckers!”
quick wit on that mike.
Congratulations. You found the witchwind of TERFs.
That is also Plato’s TERF.

wtf on that first one.
Quite a few observers have made the Diogenes reference. Heh. “Behold, a TERF!”
I don’t know about adult human chickens, but I live not very far from Scotland where “hen” is still used when addressing female people of any age. https://piningforthewest.co.uk/2010/09/17/scottish-words-hen/. AFAIK this has nothing to do with domestic fowls; we have a similar, (but applicable to any gender) term of endearment in the North East of England, “hinny”.
Maybe it’s time to start referring to “tweets” as “clucks”.
OTOH, that might be an insult to chickens.
So is eating adult human chicken considered to be cannibalism, cause Im hungry as heck right now.

If I answer that, they’ll copy-paste it and spread it around any number of hate sites as proof that trans women are cannibals.
A dumpster of TERFs might be more apt.
@11 Intransitive
Not sure. Given that a flock of chickens has a huge propensity for violence and an unwarranted reputation for being harmless, ‘a coop of TERFs’ is starting to feel ever more apt.
I still like the sound of “Germaine Greer and JK Rowling and Graham Linehan are an old sod of TERF” but I am a Brit.
I also think “adult human chicken” is just a sloppy typo for “adult female chicken” but should have been spotted sooner and not double downed on.
@13 KuraZed
Obviously that is what it is. I doubt anyone didn’t get that. We’re here to mock a malefactor who screwed up one of her own garbage slogans, not to seriously engage with the idea of Gallus sapiens.
Sorry non-neurotypical here.
Maybe that’s the answer tho, a double-down of TERFs.
