PSA

It’s 20-fucking-18 and people here act like we don’t have non-TERF terms for that noxious “compulsory heterosexuality”, often referred as “comp het”.

Non-TERF alternatives that have existed for years and are infinitely superior to that “comp het” nonsense:

• Heterosexism
• Heteronormativity
• (Cis) Heteropatriarchy

Seriously, there’s no excuse for using terminology coined by TERFs and SWERFs, which harm trans women and people, bi folks, sex workers, and is even weaponised against ace and aro demographics. What’s more is that “comp het” easily disregards how the intersections of race and colourism play into a white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy, and the havoc this reaps towards queer and non-queer people of colour.

Don’t let those sad radfem fucks fool you into thinking their creations are necessary to discuss and fight bigotry and marginalisation. They’re hypocrites that are intentionally clouding the conversation. Stop using “comp het”.
