Anti-Trans Activist, or Anti-Trans Activism. When TERFs (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists" felt their self-created title had accrued a negative reputation, many started calling themselves Gender Critical (GC). When GC advocacy, too, acquired the same negative connotation, some GCs started to refer to themselves as "Sex Realists," much like the historical use of "Race Realist" (i.e. pseudoscience as a post-hoc [justification] for [discrimination]). Without consistent terminology to describe people who primarily seek to, in the words of GC advocate Helen Joyce, "reduce or keep down the number of people who transition ... whether or not they're happily transitioned," the term "Anti-Trans Activist" or ATA serves as an [umbrella term] and a suitable counterpart to the anti-trans term TRA or "Trans Rights Activist" (which itself implies that all trans people are political activists with an "agenda," rather than defending their own existence).
