In our country (and as far as I know in Belarussia and Russia too) any gay men activist, any trans activist, any gender ideologist, any anti-gender ideologist, any TQ and any GC are all called "those radical feminists are ruining everything" by casual media outlets and major web-resources. Hell, even MRA here are called "radical feminists".

So I am not sure how to "get rid of radical feminists" in LGB here, if any feminism, all LGB and TQ+ (TRA) are seen as the same one solid unit, who are fighting for the very same ideas by masses in here.

It is about situation in our country.

As far as I know in USA and majority of EU - situation is opposite, no one is connecting LGBT, LGB drop the T and TQ+ with feminism at all. So not sure what this have to do with that.

In western countries, anything that doesn't support TRAs is considered "TERFy" and so is associated with radical feminism. Its why we're having weird shit like anime nerds who want to say the word "trap", and people like Ricky Gervais and Joe Rogan being called TERFs when there's zero chance that any of those people are radical feminists.

Well, then problem is not with radical feminism at all, but with word "TERF" used left and right without justification and any reasoning. I was actually called terf few times on reddit as well, for speaking about gay men rights and that gay men are still executed in some countries. You know, speaking about men rights made me trans-exclusionary radical feminist - because of course all radical feminists are men defending men's rights.
