      I'm not trying to say that having bad experiences in the queer/trans community is the primary cause of people joining transphobic rad fem groups. As others have pointed out, a lot of people who've had similar experiences don't go down that route.https://twitter.com/reclaimingtrans/status/1351546888097583105 …

      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 …

      But that's a narrative in these groups, it's a part of many people's identities. It's important to know what stories they tell, what experiences they try to hook people with. What kinds of experiences can lead to radicalization in the right circumstances.

      I'm talking about these groups because I don't think as many people know about them. A lot of these people still hang out in queer scenes and only share their real views with other rad fems. A lot of them have trans friends who have no clue what kinda shit they believe in.

      These communities are more underground than the more blatant transphobic ones. They may look down on a lot of gender crits as fake radical feminists, people who make them look bad. They focus more on recruiting AFAB people than directly attacking trans people.

      I'm talking about this stuff because I don't see these groups described when people talk about "terfs" or gender critical feminism. Often when I read critical descriptions of transphobic feminist groups, I don't recognize anything close to what I used to be involved in.

      A lot of what people talk about when they talk about gender crit and transphobic feminists are people I wanted no contact with when I was a transphobic feminist. I'm not saying I was better than asshole gender crit trolls, in many ways I was more dangerous.

      If people want to resist transphobic feminists they need as accurate a picture as possible of what they're up against. The gender crits who attack trans people all day serve as a distraction from the transphobic feminists who are smarter strategists or have different goals.

          Also culture-building can be more powerful than going on the attack. I spent most of my time as a rad fem creating culture that drew people in. I helped to create an alternative to the culture I wanted to undermine instead of attacking it directly and that strategy worked.
