ALT It is important to understand and account for the power dynamic at play here. In examples such as those above, members of a marginalised group and their allies seek to identify, and express anger or frustration at, a harmful ideology that is promoted primarily by and in the interests of those who are systemically privileged as cis (men as well as women). This does not, however, mean that ‘TERF’ actually functions as a slur. Davis and McCready argued that while the acronym can be used to denigrate a particular group, this group is defined by chosen ideology rather than an intrinsic property. It is this denigration of a group defined by an intrinsic property that is necessary to constitute a slur. Moreover, in the case of ‘TERF’ the act of denigration does not function to subordinate within some structure of power relations.
