I am a little confused. You seem to be implying that GC != radfem. Elsewhere in this thread you said that TRAs have redefined "TERF" to mean "anyone against TRAs". Yet, when I lurk on GC sometimes, it seems like people are using "GC" and "radfem" interchangeably.

I am implying gc and radfem are NOT the same thing. Some women are radfem on gender critical, but gender critical is it’s own thing since lots of them are not radfems. Radfems are critical of gender, but gender critical ppl are not all radfems.

I said check out GC if you want to see some problem behaviour instead of blaming radical feminism. Lots of GCs are homophobes.

But the distinction doesn’t matter to TRAs because they think we are ALL “trans exclusionary radical feminists” no matter what any of us believe. That’s what I am saying.

And even on here most users don’t seem to know the difference between gender critical and radical feminism

GC feminism is still mostly led by lesbians. It is just that now even straight non-feminists or men's rights advocating men are joining GC as well, because of the fact that TRA are THAT much annoying and problematic to literally every person who has glimpses of the logic.

And of course with "normal people" there comes homophobia.

Gotcha, makes sense.

Well, to be fair, I'm not sure if all the GC people do either, since I have seen some of them use the terms interchangeably.

What homophobia have you seen from GC? Homophobia re gay men or lesbians? I have heard some people mention GC people being homophobic but I feel like I haven’t personally seen it.
