TERF: "I learned there were only boys and girls in little school. It's basic science."
"How many planets?
TERF: "Huh?"
"How many planets did you learn about?"
TERF: "Uh, 9"
"There are 8."
TERF: "So what?"
1/5
"There are 8 planets, and a few dwarf planets such as Pluto and Ceres. id you learn about Ceres in grade school?"
TERF: "What are you on about?"
2/5
"Ceres is a dwarf planet, similar in size and environment as Pluto. It was discovered in 1801, first object from the asteroid belt to be directly observed. But recently granted status as dwarf planet, similar to Pluto which got downgraded to a Kuiper belt object."

TERF: "What are.-"
"Eris, Makemake and Haumea are also Kuiper belt dawrf planets. Did you learn about those in grade school?"
TERF: "What does thi-"
"Well, you're assuming science stops at the simplifications of gradeschool textbooks from the 80s or earlier, but...
4/5
...pparently that missed a lot of stuff, including an object observed as way back as 1801. Do you think Eris and Makemake were invented in the past couple decades too? Or Pluto shrank? Or maybe science is an ever evolving list of observations and corrections."
TERF: "But penises"
"Fun fact, every time you say "penises" at me you need to donate to my GFM at gofundme.com/raeface. It's the trans tax. All TERFs gotta pay it. It's just the rules. Learned about it in gradeschool."
TERF: "That isn't a rule!"
"Prove it."
