I think it’s a deliberate association, but not one that comes from GC women, it comes from tras. Every single thing that makes GC women “mean” could be (should be) said about libfems, tras, and their ilk.

Really what are GC women doing that is mean? Are we compelling speech? Forcing ourselves into others safe spaces ans sports etc? Denying the lived reality of slightly over half the world’s population? Perpetuating rape culture and homophobia(and sometimes racism)? Are we appropriating the struggles of other groups of people? No. GC does none of this. All we do is say that men are male and women are female, that females deserve rights and equality that aren’t undermined by any males, and have the audacity to expect a man who tells us that he’s a woman be able to actually explain how in a way that’s not misogynistic and circular.

Women are always “mean” when we stand up for ourselves and our needs.

I see. So you do not perceive anything rude in the GC community at all. I accept that.

There can be people who say rude things- that’s not gender critical. That’s a rude person. There’s a difference. There have been plenty of rude and even violent transwomen. Would you then say that transwomen are rude and violent?
