also like i was saying in DMs having the big "gender equality" patch under the "r*dical feminism" patch is such a statement; the last thing western r*dfems want is gender equality for /all, but in a korean context the women there are still fighting to be allowed to be unfeminine

western r*dfems moved from demanding the same to straight up gatekeeping femininity and androgyny as expressions only cis women and afab people should be allowed access to; korean r*dfeminists are risking their employment to be allowed to express masculinity freely

the distinction is p fascinating really

should mention in disclaimer (again) that this doesn't mean they are free of the scourge that are te rfs and sw erfs. those mfs are like bedbugs you can't expel them without burning everything down.

also HEY!! STOP USING THIS THREAD TO INVALIDATE TRANS FOLKS WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE TERM!!! R*DFEMS HAVE CAUSED TRANS PPL LASTING TRAUMA, THAT CANNOT BE ERASED!!!!
