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& #39;t mean they are free of the scourge that are te rfs and sw erfs. those mfs are like bedbugs you can& #39;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!!!!
