That must have been a while ago ? Almost three years ago a TIM friend I had referred me to it to understand better.
Come to think of it though it's pretty insulting that a person who has lived as a male for theforst twenty years of their life would school be about feminism.

That does sound insulting and yea it was ages ago now. The group I hung out with back then were very into pronouns. So I looked up everything I could about the topic. Which led me down the rabbit hole. I already agreed with so much of radical feminism, especially the take on royalty, sex work, and class systems. It just made sense to me and helped me get over some internal issues I had growing up in this capitalist & patriarchal society.

I'm super curious about radical feminist takes on royalty! Do you have any links or other resources about this that you might be able to share? :)

Reading it again... I could worded it better, if radical feminism is the belief that the oppression we face is from our sex and marxist feminism believe that the oppression is from this idea of a class-system then it would be more true to say I'm a socialist-feminist which is a combination of oppressive forces from capalitism/monarchies/any unfair ruling classes + the patriarchal systems which oppress women/females as a class, because of our biology something we have no control over.

I don't have any links available but try checking out the terms first and see if they resonate with you.

If you're a pirate try searching lib gen as a source for books, use a non tracking search engine if you're having trouble finding it.

I haven't studied this topic as deep as some so I recommend just reading as much as possible (from all sides of the argument - blogs/books/peer-reviewed papers) after all it will only help you gain a more critical mindset.

Others feel free to add on/correct/debate, I'm no expert and welcome the discussion.
