Yeah that was the case with their Twitter account. I don't think this will amount to much. Tbh I'm not so concerned about radfems as I am with Christian conservatives who have been writing a lot of GC op-eds as of late. CCs have political influence

Yeah I’m much more concerned about the fundamentalists, they hold a lot more sway. The main concern I have w/ GCs is that some uninformed liberals could see them and think that this is a feminist protest when it isn’t, and be more sympathetic than they would be to CCs.

The Christian right definitely have more established power and they're trying to use GCs to get more influence with people who normally wouldn't listen to them. Also think there are way more crypto-terfs among liberals and leftists than many people think, having known a bunch.

Like I used to live in one of the trans-friendliest areas on the west coast and knew so many terfs! Most of them lesbian. There's long history of transphobia among lesbians and some of those women have good organizing skills from past activism. And they're getting more extreme.

They've been radicalised.

True but many have held transphobic views for decades, going on about how they knew trans people were trouble ever since more trans people starting coming out in the '90s, shit like that. But their views have gotten way more extreme over time so that sense I agree.

Talking about the older terfy lesbians I knew. The younger ones did mostly get radicalized online, often through rad fem tumblr.

The ones who got radicalised way back were so by different means, of course, but I didn't specify "online". Methods like intensive study groups about male pornography.
