so you think anti trans activism is feminism?

Suggesting someone sticks around because they might learn stuff isn't condescending. 🤷‍♀️

Oh, there are definitely men who think that, and that men need women to tame their wilder urges. And that they need to protect 'their' women from threats.

What is her pre-boring crank reputation based on? I read One Dimensional Woman years ago and it was alright from what I remember but I didn't get a lot from it, I don't know about anything else she did though.

Which bullshit in particular?

Yes there is a feminism and violence against women thread

which is where the Politicla Lesbian movement comes from, women who aren;t lesbians because they are sexually and romantically atteacted to other femme aligned people but becasue they want to punish men

Fuck you. Trans people do not want to hurt women, damage feminism, oppose rights for women - if you think that you've been watching too much Rogan. No, seriously, fuck you - you're an idiot if you are falling for this bullshit.

I think generally people may want to feel more masculine, so when a woman shows some form of dominant characteristics, they may take it as some sort of threat?

Take a look at the funding.

Mm probably not TERFs by that point I'd think. It'd be interesting to know how many people previously into radical feminism have gotten drawn into more conservative/traditionalist views as part of the transphobia pipeline, but probably not something that's easily quantified.

Whilst its not quite a direct counter to your point, Vron Ware has a good book called Beyond the Pale which looks at how white womanhood and feminism were used to justify slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation and other forms of racial violence in the US and UK. I don't think this is comparable...

TERFs hour has a pecularily white, middle class, and none intersectional view of feminism which of course was actively encouraged by the Selfservative plants into BBC leadership over the past several parliamentary terms. It also playis int o the normalisation of Strong White Christian...

...in queer circles, but to hear Mumsnetters talk you'd think there was a trans woman lurking around every corner waiting to pounce. Distras' 'feminism' is surface level at best. She apparently tried to copy Kathleen Hanna's 'girls to the front' thing, even though Hanna herself has abandoned it...

...Is that it so far? I note that when we discuss male violence against women and girls we don't end up talking about how frightened the perpetrators are or how feminism has let them down. So how are we here talking about fear and disengagement when it's racist violence under the microscope?
