Women’s Rape Shelter Faces Death Threats for Rejecting Transgender “Women”
Canada’s oldest rape crisis shelter is facing death threats and vandalism over their policy of not including transgender women. . .
“A follow up to the dead rat that was nailed to our door recently… this morning we found this writing scrawled across the windows of our storefront space that we use for support and training groups,” the account tweeted, adding “misogyny” in a hashtag.

The photos show writing with the death threat, “KILL TERFS,” and “TRANS POWER.” The word “TERF” is an acronym used by transgender activists and allies as a pejorative for “transgender exclusionary radical feminist.” It is used against feminists who do not follow the demands of the transgender lobby, especially those which put women at risk or under threat. . .
The center offers its services to women who were born female in accordance with the feminism that guides their mission. In March, the Vancouver City Council pulled funding from the group because of pressure from transgender activists.
The shelter decried the decision, saying in a statement that the council was committing to “discrimination against women in the name of inclusion.”
