Not a Lie if They Make You Do It
"Lie. It's not lying if they make you lie, if the only truth they can accept is their own."

The Lesbian MasterDoc by Anjeli Luz pulls heavily and uncritically from Rich's text, so if that document also felt vaguely TERFy to you, then now you know why.

I don't think it's going too far to simply state that Adrienne Rich helped Janice Raymond to write The Transsexual Empire, and that everyone reading Rich's work should read it through that lens.

Raymond cites Rich's work in the body of The Transsexual Empire, in the chapter titled (ugh) "Sappho By Surgery", and also thanks Rich in the introduction for her "constant encouragement".

The idea of "comphet" was first introduced in Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence by Adrienne Rich. Adrienne Rich wasn't just a TERF. She was directly mentioned multiple times in the TERF book, The Transsexual Empire, by her colleague Janice Raymond.

If the concept of "compet", AKA "compulsory heterosexuality", feels vaguely TERFy to you, well, that's because it has its roots in literal TERFery.
