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.

I mean some of the ones I knew had a lot of violent fantasies against men and trans women... They just didn't express it publicly. They have private groupchats tho. And even an entire forum where one of the threads was specifically to share transphobia. There were slurs, graphic+
Yeah, I knew rad fems, mostly younger, who had lots of violent fantasies about men and trans women too. Lots of fantasies about getting rid of anyone they saw as male or forcing them to live under oppressive conditions. Nasty stuff.

It was disturbing. I stumbled upon that part when I already had a foot out of the door. I worry a lot thinking just how many of them are aware and yet stay, even worse, contribute. And there's a lot more than people outside know. They want to either do away or oppress, not equal.

That's horrific, the opposite of MRAs or incels but just as sick. I know there are a lot of sick people out there. I just can't imagine those attitudes would ever become mainstream

Didn't know about those forums but that doesn't surprise me, with a lot of the talk I did hear. The worst parts of the rad fem community encourage people to dehumanize trans women and cis men in ways I found pretty disturbing.

I feel like sometimes people underestimate rad fems because they're women and people don't want to believe that women can be as hateful and dangerous as men but they can. They may do it differently than men for various reasons but they can still do a lot of harm.
