Couldn't agree more and I thank you for posting this. Fortunately SaidIt doesn't have downvotes so, unlike the original sub, radfems on here can't do their usual thing of mass downvoting to hide comments and silence people (hmm, remind you of another movement, by chance?)

I am completely against radical feminism. I don't give a shit that they're anti-trans, because they're also anti-intersex, anti-mentally ill, and generally unpleasant to everyone from women who don't buy into their ideology 100% to males as a whole because "hurr everyone with a penis is inherently oppressive from birth". I don't want to hear false claims about radfems being my "ally", because every time I've interacted with them they've been nothing but hostile and shown that they couldn't give less of a shit about gay males, GNC males, or bisexual people. They stand up for the L only and talk bad about everyone else.

Also a lot of them are, as you said, extremist left and are pro-communist and all that. As a Russian I'm really not gonna support that, thank you very much.

I am a centrist or non politically aligned, however you wanna call it. I don't associate myself with the left, TRA left or otherwise, nor do I associate myself with the right.

Jesus, didn't know they did all that. At most, I just saw misandry. Didn't know they would be against me for having a mental disorder. I don't get how they can be anti-intersex tho? Do they support IGM or something?

Yeah they use "mentally ill" as an insult and to describe people they don't like. Trans people being perverts? Mental illness. Women not subscribing to radical feminism? Mental illness. Someone posting something they disagree with? Mental illness.

They basically think that intersex people are akin to trans people and that we too are dress-wearing perverts who want to oppress the brave womyn or something. They deny that intersex conditions exist beyond mild ones, and insist that all intersex people are normal-looking men and women with minor to none health issues, which simply isn't true. People like me who are naturally androgynous and have sex characteristics of the opposite sex are deemed "liars" and apparently are just LARPing for a fetish, even though I've made about 500 posts being very clear with the fact that my life isn't easy and I specifically HATE being sexualized and fetishized for being a feminine male.

I've never heard anyone except TRAs say that intersex and trans are the same. Trans have been co-opting the intersex narrative for decades. They lifted the term "assigned at birth" from them and often claim they are intersexed when they are not.
