I disagree with this phrasing, simply because there are very few gender-crit radfems, and in terms of organized ramfem movements, there is very little WOC representation.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you after posting this comment because I frankly don't have the energy and don't think you're arguing in good faith, but this line right here shows that you do not seem to understand that radical feminists are by nature gender critical. Also, WOC are a minority in Anglophone radfem spaces. But that does not mean that radical feminism is unknown to WOC. South Korea is a prime example. Their radical feminist movement is huge. The radfem movement throughout Latin America is also growing. In fact, outside of the western world the aims of feminists throughout the world are more akin to radical feminism (fighting sex-based oppression of females) than any other.

I don't believe the term "white feminism" is useful. Can white women be racist? Yes. Does that mean white women are exempt from experiencing sexism? No. As a WOC it's annoying to see people claim that feminists like the Nigerian Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie are "white feminists" simply because they do not believe in gender, or because they see how self-ID can easily be exploited. That tells you how the concept of "white feminism" is just used to shut women up.

Guessing from your name and recent post history that you're a trans person trying to convince us here to change positions. I will save you some time: it's probably not going to happen. We've been abused, gaslit, and harassed by the trans community for too long.

South Korea

Latin America

So basically what you're saying is "The voices of WOC are important when they don't infringe on my own right to marginalize others for my own comfort".

We've been abused, gaslit, and harassed by the trans community for too long.

The racist crocodile tears of your movement fail to move me.
