Fair enough. This can happen. But there is great lashback from radfems for anyone who doesn't toe the party line - see their attacks on thirdwave libfems - and from Marxists - see attacks on neoliberal social democrats - and from intersectionals - see attacks on everyone else. https://twitter.com/EmilyVicendese/status/983332568761171968 …
Goodness. If you haven't seen the radfem opposition to the third wave intersectional libfems, I'm not sure where to start.

I’ve seen arguments and discussion. Not sure what you mean by “attacks” and “lashback”. Certainly haven’t seen radfems denying libfems civil and human rights.

Well, no. Neither is that suggested by "attacks" and "lashback." This is verbal. By "attacks" and "lashback", I mean highly aggressive, condemnatory attacks on the character of people who disagree with them. Not 'I disagree with you about trans identity because...'

But "You are a handmaiden supporting the patriarchy in the form of "transwomen." You are a misogynist and MRA." Meanwhile, intersectionals, "You are a bigot denying trans people's rights to exist. You are a misogynist and TERF. Both said to me too. I've had to mute hundreds.

You’re right that you do get a lot of inflamed rhetoric, especially in internet based “discussions”. I agree it’s generally unhelpful (unless of course your goal is merely to score points against the other side and virtue signal to your comrades as opposed to advance discussion).
