AYRT What's her looks have to do with anything?... Frankly, instead of trying to hold her accountable (you're not the police or her mother or her boss), I'd suggest reflecting on why the first thing to pop into your mind to comment on is her appearance.
There's plenty enough that are attractive that they are the face of the movement, and plenty that are "normal looking" AND rich that carry the movement- look at JKR.
Also like... there's nothing wrong with being physically unattractive; it's not something folks can help sometimes. Conflating physical appearance with being evil is shitty behavior, too, considering terfs usually do the same thing to trans women.
You can insult plenty of other things about a terf without insulting their appearance.
there's so many things to criticize TERFs for - harassment, transphobia, homophobia, racism, harmful gender norms, partnership with right-wing hate groups, the list goes on. ignoring all of these very real, very violent problems and instead saying "lol terfs r uglee" completely misses the entire point of criticizing TERF ideology.
and yeah, i do understand that offhand comments are a lot easier than writing out essays, but if OP is trying to make a change in their institution/HR they need to have some meaning put into it.
