Or, I guess, that there's nothing wrong with their any-port-in-a-storm pragmatism and it doesn't MATTER if some TERFs here lend visibility to Deep Green weirdos and other TERFs there ally with respectable conservative Catholics

I think if people step back and think about the fact that radical feminists have a long history of strange bedfellows (think the porn wars) then the fact that true TERFS (i.e., trans exclusionary radfems) have allied with conservatives makes more sense.

I'm not sure I would argue that feminists like Germaine Greer, Mary Daly or Janice Raymond only care about one thing. They have made contributions to feminist thought that stand as useful. And they ALSO have garbage, hurtful shit to say abt trans folk.

I think the issue is that fewer and fewer feminists identify as "radical feminists" even if they actually are radical....in part because the TERFS kinda poisoned the well. I mean, I can sign on to a lot of their agenda (or at least value it), but not the trans-exclusionary part.

The whole ironic thing about this is "TERF" was a term specifically intended to try to distance trans-exclusion from radical feminism as a concept -- it was a term invented by a "TIRF" (trans-inclusive radical feminist) for that reason

And yet, the reason that she invented it -- because the TERFs really were taking over the conversation -- only intensified, and what she was trying to do with it mostly failed
