> You’re a mod. I’m not giving you a link for a search you’re fully capable of doing yourself. FWIW, there are multiple threads that come up when I plug in the search term “TWAW”.

I’m not a mod, but I get 8 threads when I search for “TWAW”.

[Thread 1 is YWTF (you\_with\_the\_face) using the term. I don’t believe that anyone considers YWTF a trans ally in any way, as she’s shown to fit the very definition of TERF.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-furore/855795/107)

[Thread 2 is filmore using it in a way that I find confusing more than anything else as I don’t see the acronym described anywhere.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-the-existing-rules-prohibit-people-from-debating-the-gender-of-people-who-identify-as-transgender/927272/211)

[Thread 3 again links to a YWTF post. No friend of the transgendered, that one.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-called-cancel-culture-social-media-and-bullying/917676/122)

[Thread 4 uses it as an acronym for “The World at War”](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-the-eastern-front-of-ww2-not-covered-more/826747/62)

[Thread 5 actually contains “TWAWK” and is used as a phonetic version of talk in some regional dialect.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/southern-accents-dropping-the-l-in-the-middle-of-words/631987/13)

[Thread 6 uses the acronym TWAWKI for “The world as we know it”.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/metal-and-civilisation/406507/4)

[Thread 7 mentions “twawted” and seems like it might be vagina related or maybe not.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-through-one-more-cut-scene-and-ill-twat-ya/295473)

Finally, the last link is this thread where you use it for the first time.

I’m finding it difficult to muster support for your position that they are used by trans advocates in other threads on this subject.
