Feel like I should really emphasize this point. This is one of the most consistent patterns I came across hanging out with younger radical feminists, especially lesbians. Most had been radical queers at some point, got traumatized in that community, left and became rad fems.https://twitter.com/reclaimingtrans/status/1351522742718390273 …

If you're not able to see how the queer/trans community can deeply wound people, you're never going to understand why some people leave it and then join (or form) groups that attack it.

I'm not saying this to attack the queer/trans community. I don't think it's especially abusive conpared to other groups but like all groups it has real problems. Calling rad fems a "cult" can be a way to avoid dealing with those problems.

I'm also not trying to let people who join transphobic groups off the hook, even if they were abused in the past. They are responsible for their actions and need to be held accountable. Past abuse is never an excuse to hurt others, nor demonize a whole group of people.
