Okay maybe it's because it's late, but what is this four letter word for feminism?
“Four letter word” is a nice way of saying a curse word (think shit, fuck, etc). So by calling feminism a four letter word, the author is saying that the prison considers feminism a dirty word, basically.
Thank you! That was indeed my tired brain at work. The moment I read your response it went "Duh. Of course"
I was under the impression the literary device 'four letter word' typically referred to the word 'love'
That's a funny misunderstanding and probably changes the context a lot, but no, "four letter word" means a swear word.
Although it's not about amab trans women this time, I'm still wondering if terfs would have problems with afab trans men. Probably.
Which is why the bathroom law things are so ridiculous, because then you will have trans men going to the women's bathrooms, which I thought was exactly what terfs didn't want; men in their spaces. I think quite a few trans men have been beaten up because of this.

Wikipedia has my back.
What I thought at first was "terf" though.

So, America goes from censoring curse words, to censoring the words "curse word" now? Where does this end? You all talking in riddles like a Sphinx?
Does your native language not have literary devices?
It's an expression.
