Teespring: tranny is okay, but TERF is a slur.

Update: article is back up after being suspended temporarily. Gotta hand it to Medium Staff — they were quick about fixing the problem! Credit where credit is due and all that.

It seems like they have fully aligned with the idea that TERF is hate speech, and a slur. Let’s just forget all the horrible and disgusting things TERFs say about trans people. Let’s focus on the label that small marginalised group have given to those beating them down every day. Good fucking work Teespring.com.

Funnily enough though… You know what actual slurs still exist on the platform? Tranny does.

And boy oh boy is there a lot of results for it! Mostly making fun of dudes who give head to trans women. Which you know… is totally above board and not at all hating on someone because of their sexual orientation, or their gender identity. Except for how its exactly that. I guess Teespring must not have anything about that in their rules or policies? Right?
