How Can You Be a TERF and Also be a MRA? It’s so Easy Even a Misogynist Can Do It



Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF) and follower of Cathy Brennan’s Gender Identity Watch, Justin Allen Norwood, has a strange affection for Men’s Rights Activists. But this is very common for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists. It may seem that up is down and everything is backwards and Hell may have frozen over but it really isn’t that unusual. It may seem odd to a feminists or anyone that breaths oxygen that a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist can also be a Men’s Rights Activists, but you have to understand that Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism has many of the same beliefs that Men’s Rights Activists and even the religious right have. One of their common themes is cisgender women are too weak physically and intellectually to ever compete with men in the world.  


Recently there have been a lot of comments from various Men’s Rights Activists on Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist’s Facebook pages, including Justin Allen Norwood’s Facebook page “We are Homosexuals Not Homogenderuals”. These Men’s Rights Activists seem to have free reign to discuss just about anything and their viewpoints are respected, unlike if you are a cisgender woman you will be banned for your viewpoints and called a troublemaker, unless you agree with them on everything.  Josh Carter, a Men’s Rights Activist seems to have a VIP seat on many of the Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist’s Facebook pages.As you can see he is a very active member of the
Men’s Rights Activists.





Josh Carter, both a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist and a Men’s Rights Activist, seems to be right at home on Justin Allen Norwood’s Facebook page “We are Homosexuals Not Homogenderuals”. Josh Carter is a frequent and welcome visitor to Justin Allen Norwood’s page and they are even Facebook best friends. Politics does make some very strange bedfellows.

A Notice to Employers Everywhere: Beware of Anti-Trans Cyberbullies

This is a public notice for employers of transgender individuals. You are simply being sent this notice because an abusive anti-trans activist group may attempt to target your employee in the future. Your employee likely did nothing to warrant such an attack and no action is required on your part, this is simply a notice for your awareness.

As you know, transgender and other minority employees are valuable and productive additions to your workforce. Anti-transgender activist groups such as ones led by Cathy Brennan may contact you and attempt to intimidate and manipulate you in an effort to threaten your employee's job security.

It is important to note that if one of these groups attempt to contact you, it does not mean your employee has done anything wrong; but rather that they are a target of discrimination.

Here are some resources to further educate yourself to the existence of anti-trans hate groups such as Cathy Brennan's own Gender Identity Watch

Thousands of people have petitioned to properly label Gender Identity Watch as a hate group

To groups such as Gender Identity Watch and other trans discrimination groups, no target is off limits - including 16-year old children
