Just from lurking on GC and LGB social media, I think that, while mainstream GC feminists are extremely supportive of LGB Drop the T efforts, they're primarily fighting for women's rights.

And GC feminists weren't the ones who started the conflict with the TQ+: all GC feminists are trying to do is retain women's rights, spaces and sports. As far as I've seen, most GC feminists are very supportive of trans rights, they just won't let trans DEMANDS destroy women's rights.

I have also seen that a good percentage of the women now involved in the struggle against trans demands activism initially came to the struggle because of a gay child who suddenly decided that they were transgender. So these women do have a stake in both gay rights (to protect their child's future) and women's rights.

But in the US, and again I apologize if that's not where you are, or if your experiences are different, no one I know and I know a lot of educated, relatively politically involved people (casual) knows what a Rad Fem is, much less associates them with LGBT.

In fact, until I tell them, no one even knows that there is a faction of LGB that wants to drop the T. When I explain it, they get it, but it's a long explanation, because trans activists have been so successful in deliberately cementing the T to LGB.

So, in the US at least, I wouldn't worry about Rad Fems being affiliated with LGB drop the T efforts in the public mind. Young people and SJWs maybe, but Jake and Jayne Average, no.
