DiscussionDo you think the queer and trans movement will drive lesbians - particularly young lesbians - into the arms of radical feminists?

I don't expect the whole of radical feminism to be about lesbians, no, but i expect lesbian feminism and other ostensibly lesbian groups, sessions, articles etc to be about lesbians and I expect lesbophobia to be challenged. I don't know what you mean about political lesbianism - are you saying that it is ridiculous and antiquated to be critical of it or are you denying that it is a prominent feature of radical feminism? It certainly is in the UK and I am aware of political lesbians in other countries (from international groups) although some in other countries have said that they tend to keep quiet about it with newcomers and the outside world because of the negative reaction it gets.

is (now?)

prominent

It was a small part of it 40-50 years ago, lmao.

You understand that it is still just regular feminism with extra layer of addition of how it effects lesbians specifically, but 90+% of it is still just regular feminism, because lesbians are females, so all that affects females is affecting lesbians too, right?
