Welcome to PITT's New Q&A Section: Countering Common TERF Arguments

Are you tired of seeing the same anti-trans talking points and misconceptions repeated over and over? Do you wish you had a go-to resource to find clear, well-researched rebuttals backed by facts and science?

We hear you. That's why PITT is excited to introduce this new Q&A section in collaboration with the brilliant team at TransFriend. Together, we're building a "living library" to methodically debunk the most pervasive TERF arguments and provide our community with solid counter-arguments to copy, paste, link and share.

In this section, we'll be addressing fundamental questions like:

• What is the definition of a woman/female and man/male?
• How is gender different from sex? What is gender identity?
• What does it mean to be transgender? How do people know they are trans?
• What is the science behind being transgender?
• Aren't trans activists erasing women/lesbians/feminism?
• Don't trans rights infringe on free speech?

...and many more. Each Q&A page will break down a common TERF talking point, provide the facts and context needed to understand the issue, and equip you with clear, evidence-based arguments you can use to push back against transphobia.

This is just the beginning. We'll be continuously expanding this section, updating pages as new information emerges, and adding new topics based on your input. Have a burning question you want us to address? Want to suggest an argument we should debunk? Please share your ideas in the comments or reach out to us directly. This resource is for you and we want it to reflect your needs.

Here are the Q&A pages we've published so far. Check back often, as we'll be adding more every week (hopefully)!
