Someone in this sub is telling me that there's actually something fundamentally wrong with people who are convinced by the TRAs that they're trans or non-binary, and they're not just normal people who have fallen victim to the patriarchy and the echo chambers created by social media... Is this really what you believe?

No. That’s not what Radical Feminism generally says, it is not what “Gender Critical” means, and is not what most people I have met who would describe themselves as either of those would say.

It’s a belief that someone could hold, while also being a Radical Feminist and/or critical of gender, but I think in most cases it would be hard to sustain. I’d have to break down what they meant, what the various groups currently under Stonewall’s “trans umbrella” are and represent, and see if they were making a more nuanced point before I completely dismissed them, but generally it doesn’t sound like someone coming at this situation from a feminist perspective.
