Based solely on Twitter exchanges around trans issues and womens rights, my answer is ‘less’ however I’m less sure in my answer bc of the ‘radical’ modofier.

I'm not exactly on the "pro" trans side, but I think many TERFs hate trans-women because of an underlying, nursed bitterness towards men in general.
The Trans debate is sort of perfect, because all the tactics TERFs used before, are now used against them.

I'd think they either fierce allies of trans people or the exact opposite, no middle

(Practically) No one describes themselves as radical, that's always a term placed on them by people who wish to make people think they're way too far outside of practicality to ever be listened to. Should the norm be dispariaging trans and driving up trans suicide? That's normal?

Pretty much all "radfems" I've encountered were transphobic. One time, I encountered one who was expressly trans-inclusive... but turned out to be the SWERF type, so that one goes in the bin too.
It seems more about in-group identity than any real motivation. I don't trust it.
