I'm not in charge of anything, nor did I say what was or wasn't valid. I simply stated a basic fact, that "terfs" are, by their very definition, not simple feminists.

But it's also true that they don't represent "mainstream" feminism. There are a whole lot more people who would define themselves with the dictionary definition of a feminist:

than there are people would define themselves as "terfs":
