The transphobic elements of lesbian feminism aren't theoretical to me, I've experienced the damage they can do firsthand and I'm still recovering from it. Parts of it are oppressive and destructive. I can't see lesbian feminism or lesbian culture in the same way anymore.
I don't feel comfortable going to lesbian feminist gatherings anymore, not when transphobia is so readily tolerated and promoted. I went to those spaces looking for healing/liberation and found encouragement to hated myself and other trans people.
So many lesbian feminists want to see themselves as poor misunderstood radicals fighting patriarchy but they promote bigotry and it ends up hurting people and spreading into the larger culture. I'm tired of them claiming victimhood and refusing to examine their own behavior.
I'm sad and frustrated with how so many lesbian feminists can't seem to let go of transphobic beliefs and have even come to define themselves against trans people. Watching lesbian feminism increasingly turn into an anti-trans hate group is just depressing.
