FART stands for "Feminist Appropiating Reactionary Transphobe" and is a term to replace TERF ("Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist") for women who call themselves radical feminists.

The term FART is considered a more accurate description than TERF. Even though radical feminists draw some of their roots from feminists who coined radical ideas about the patriarchy, ‘radical feminists’ are part of a reactionary movement as a lot of their principles are based on the idea that contact with a penis decreases the value of a woman and sex with a penis involved is inherently anti-woman. A lot of people who identify as ‘radfems’ claim not to be FARTs, and claim that their radical feminist ideas are not being acknowledged by their opponents, but never actually distance themselves from these strongly reactionary ideas at all.

It is seen as absurd how this movement came to be hold the word ‘radical’ while the origins of radical feminism have given rise to so many truly radical views like black decolonial feminism, intersectional feminism, anarchofeminism, revolutionary feminism… it’s absurd that it is the ‘actually women shouldn’t be transgender, bisexual, sex workers, femme/butch, kinky, or anything except what we say a woman should be’ branch laid claim to the words ‘radical feminism’.

As radical feminists consistently attack women and work with conservatives to restrict what women can do, ‘Feminist Appropriating Reactionary’/ FART fits the bill.
