Spark attracted criticism recently after the company tweeted its support for a social media post made by transgender activist and young New Zealander of the year Shaneel Lal, calling for the banning and exclusion of ‘TERFS’ from Meta’s new Threads app.
The term TERF, Trans exclusionary radical feminist, was coined by trans activists and rainbow groups to refer, often in a derogatory manner and often in the context of promoting violence or social exclusion, to those who disagree with certain aspects of trans culture, or the actions of transexual public figures.
