At least in the U.S., "TERFY" ideas are generally associated with right wingers and not with feminism (even though feminism is right in the acronym). And those on the right think radical feminism is just super extra extreme feminism, not its own thing with substantial ideological differences from mainstream feminism, and thus they believe the super extra extreme feminists are the MOST supportive of the trans agenda.

They are not right wing. They are just called right wing by TRAs because TRAs call everyone who doesn’t agree with them 100% a bad right wing bigot. Radfems do the same thing to TRAs. They are both extremist left wing groups that are fighting for control.

This is my issue... people on the left not getting that this tra stuff is a problem of the left, coming out of modern gender/queer studies. They are pumping out little sjw’s who who tell us penises are feminine and males are bad. How do I, a life long Democrat vote for people fully drunk on libfem/tra ideology? Who will then work to make it worse for lgb and women because they are just following what these far leftists are telling them to do?

I get the feeling that you didn't actually lurk in GC/ Rad Fem spaces, because what you're saying doesn't match what I saw lurking on those spaces for years.

Rad fems, like the women of WoLF (the Women's Liberation Front) are nothing like TRAs. The women of WoLF are intelligent, compassionate, brave human beings fighting for the rights and safety of all women.

And I'm not a rad fem, I'm not a GC fem - I'm just a plain old 2nd Wave feminist with GC beliefs.
