Maybe alongside TERF Island, I suggest Jerk Island.
TURD Island (Tough Under Regressive Demands) is kind of a self-own, but also not? The whole 'coal / carbon into diamonds' thing.

But yeah. Jerk Island matches the vibe, cadence, rhyme, and reason of TERF Island.
Easier to do without hurting precious cis fee-fees for describing them as neutrally as possible to highlight a challenge they obviously do not face.

We call out the 'jerk' behaviour rather than the TERF-ness...
even though putting Trans-Exclusionary in your own group name is KIND OF a dead giveaway.
PERHAPS you may not like that group of people.

I guess JERK could be itemised into Just Egregious Ruthless Keratin.

Kinda difficult when few English words start with K.
Like, you can work 'Kremlin' in there, but we already have huge problems with most people treating other groups of people as a monolith.

(To be super clear:
Russia itself is bad, while Russians themselves are individual people. They choose their actions under completely different circumstances from what you or I do, unless you're Russian, in which case: hello.)

Edit: KAREN. TERFs are JERKs: Joint Egregious Rorschach Karens.
