I see a lot of radfems and gencrit people defending transmen and non binary females because they're female

This. There is a ton of ugly misandry in the GC community, to the point of some of them being best described as femcels. It often blinds them to the reality that the large amount of straight trans-identified women are also largely driven by a fetishization of homosexual couples and that lesbian trans-identified women are attention-seeking and aggressive a-holes just as much as any trans-identified man, and not the innocent poor helpless manipulated lesbians they often want to paint them as. A single look at r/askgaybros right now will instantly prove that.

I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but I really agree with this. Women are humans. They are not innately more "wonderful" than men, and they are not immune to abusing people or power. I say that as a woman who has been abused by women, and who is trying to learn to be proud of being a woman. We 1000% are the disadvantaged sex in terms of how we have been treated, and simultaneously, at the end of the day we are just humans.

I kind of wonder if it is a sort of benevolent sexism going on, or maybe just personal bias of the posters. I will say, I do think there are a lot of misguided, nonviolent female transmen, who were pressured into transitioning. But saying none are contributing to the problem in a coercive fashion is not reflective of reality.

There are issues with homophobia and the radfem movement.

I just unfollowed a supposed for women page for posting a Christian ex gay bullshit article.

But not all are like this, I'm aware of predatory females in the trans community.
