After all that happened on Reddit you're trying to control content pushing Trans-free days? For real?

They don't hate feminism only because of our stance on transgenderism.

Is this a feminist sub or an anti-TRA sub?

This is a gender critical sub, it is feminist and opposed to TR activism. See the explanation at the top of the page.

it's an anti TRA sub. Modern feminism is pro trans.

We are a anti-TRA sub. Unapologetically.

We are also "modern feminism." If we're not your cup of T why are you here?

not your cup of T

LMAO That is priceless. And on a side note, that we are a unapologetic anti-TRA sub is spot on

Feminism is no longer about women's liberation; it is now a men's movement. I don't support the modern/mainstream feminist movement. I support the movement for Women's liberation. This may just be a disagreement about terminology, rather than beliefs, but personally I feel it is important to separate from the mainstream feminism because it has made a name for itself as a very specific thing.

So you are letting them to claim our feminism and fleeing to a corner? Isn't that what they want?

I am feminist, and they - aren't, whatever they are saying. They are saying now "lesbian is who love dicks", so what - I should start calling myself "female-lover" and not lesbian now? I can't let them take everything from me. No, it is not the time for women to go backwards. Backwards is only abyss, to survive and not be grinded into "non-trans" category, there is only one way - forward.

I'm referring to radical feminism, not liberal feminism.

I don't know if you were on r/GC back in the day, but it morphed into a anti-TRA over the last couple years, with fewer discussions on women's oppression and a sole focus on transgenderism. I think there's an evolution of radical feminism happening - the users driving it seemed to overlap with the FDS, PPF subs - where the idea that radical feminism meant female separatism. It was getting tied to radical feminism in the radfemtheory sub that popped up at the end. Ideas like male babies should be aborted, Gail Dines wasn't a feminist because she was married and had a son (with no comment on Dworkin being married to a man), and biological essentialism being centered (men are inherent rapists - with no reflection on what that men women are inherently). I hoped the move here might revert things back to women looking to discuss material reality and class analysis, with less of the underlying racism (intersectionality is wrong). I was wrong and am done here too.

There is reason for that. It is because TRA is now a huge point of oppression on women. It is because TRA are trying to legislatively remove sex, so laws that are protecting based on sex - would either blend or dissapear. It is because Rape Crisis Centers are being defunded by TRA. It is because shelters and other women-only spaces are being infiltrated by self-ID law abusers. It is because language is being changed to make the whole idea of "sexism" dissappear. It is because young girls have 4000% increase rate on "change gender" therapies, ruining their bodies from the very young age, just because it is not comfortable to live as a women in this society. And I am not even talking about lesbian problems with TRA. So should we just ignore this, or what? It is huge problem and should be adressed.

No kind of real feminism is "pro-trans".
