Trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) make use of an ethical, moralistic framework to support specific rhetoric and behavior. Taken together, these form a self-referential ideology that functions to protect an essentialist ontology, which reliably harms cisgender, transgender, and feminist communities. Through an examination of the historical record of US radical feminist and TERF discourses, including first-hand accounts, this article considers how the ontological framework that inspires TERF rhetoric and behavior has functioned as a cycle of moral fulfillment, even as it necessitates the eradication of trans bodies. The article analyzes how TERF morality, rhetoric, and action construct social forms through a sexed binary by relying on an appeal to the natural, which serves to objectify ontological embodiment. It also foregrounds the different historical and contemporary positionalities of trans-exclusionary and trans-inclusive radical feminisms, and concludes with a reminder of the complementary attributes of trans feminism and radical feminism that are evidenced by decades of cooperation.

本体论女性：去认证、去人性化和暴力的历史

跨性别激进女权主义者 (TERF) 利用伦理道德框架来支持特定的言辞和行为。综上所述，这些形成了一种自我参照的意识形态，其功能是保护本质主义本体论，该本体论可靠地伤害了顺性别者、跨性别者和女权主义社区。通过对美国激进女权主义和 TERF 话语的历史记录的检查，包括第一手资料，本文考虑了激发 TERF 言辞和行为的本体论框架如何作为道德实现的循环发挥作用，即使它需要根除跨体。文章分析了 TERF 的道德、修辞和行动如何通过对自然的诉求通过性别二元构建社会形式，这有助于客观化本体论的体现。
