I don't completely know JK Rowling's motivations. But there's a pattern where people assume radfems are "insecure" about our womanhood or gender identity. And I feel that for many of us, this is not the case whatsoever. I mean, there are radfems who are "de"-transmen, but it's not the majority.

That to me, is a comical batshit crazy projection. I find it hard to believe there's a woman alive who feels "inferior" in the face of a transwoman's "femininity." lol This is them projecting their own issues onto us.

It's not even necessarily that we're jealous of transwomen, they just think that we're closeted "non-binary" or trans men. When our entire point is that we criticize certain gendered labels (calling yourself "non-binary" is completely subjective, unlike calling yourself gay).

Somebody in the thread literally said this:

Speaking as an old person, I think a LOT, and possibly the vast majority, of 2ndwave feminists are nonbinary AFAB&AMAB people

Well, then, they can no longer just dismiss us out of hand, right? Cuz we're The Sacred TwanzTM ourselves! And therefore know whereof we speak!
