Hanging out with transphobic feminists as a detrans woman was such a mindfuck because a lot of them didn't actually see me as a woman. They said they did but they treated me and other detrans women like we were in a different category than they put themselves in.

There are plenty of rad fems who try to act better than the more overt bigots but do they kick the bigots out? Do they say this behavior is totally unacceptable and we wouldn't tolerate it and anyone who acts this way will face consequences? I've never seen it.

Transphobic rad fems are a hate group that tries to recruit some of the people they want to eliminate, pretending they can "help" us. It's fucking bullshit. Being brainwashed and gaslit isn't liberation, it's abuse and conversion practices.

I spent years being treated like shit by people claiming to fight for liberation for women. In end it became clear they just wanted to use me to justify their bigotry and lash out at trans people. They didn't give a fuck about my liberation or well-being.

They're a fucking hate group trying to pass themselves off as radicals fighting patriarchy. They can't even create a community where detrans women are safe, respected & treated as equals. They're not fighting for women's liberation, they're fighting for the "right" to be bigots.

What can transmasc communities do to make ourselves safe for people who are questioning detrans? (Other than squashing the really overt "one true narrative"shit). Feel like sometimes it's worked OK in creating spaces where ppl can explore and sometimes it hasn't but not sure why.

One thing is making space for people who feel both transmasc and butch and/or who retain some kind of connection to womanhood, femaleness and/or lesbian identity. A lot of folks like that ended up in the detrans women's community.
