how we have sex, or assertions that feminine mannerisms are an "active choice" for young gay boys that can be "turned off" (tell that to the gay boy in school who's getting bullied for his lisp and limp wrist).

I seriously think some GC radfems think women outright own femininity. That's the impression I'm getting online sometimes. I mean, I know that female is in the word to some extent, but thinking this way just as stupid as thinking men own masculinity and criticizing gnc females. Unless they're outright calling themselves the sex they aren't and pretending they have female organs or something, someone merely having the gender expression associated with your sex is not "appropriating your womanhood" or whatever. Can you imagine how sexist that would sound is a man was talking like that?

And the fact of the matter is, a lot of these twitter GC radfems still push gender roles. Like, I remember some guy who defended the rights of women was called "a real man" by some GC, as to revoke the man card for anyone who didn't actively support them like some social coercion. When adult males ARE men no matter if they defend women's rights or not. I mean, I thought they were supposed to be GC? Because that sounds pretty gender traditionalist. I don't think some of them see how a lot of these trans problems exist nowadays because of attitudes like that. Men and women who want to escape their assigned gender roles.

I'm still on the fence in calling myself GC because I'm not sure whether it's a larger ideology itself or just a label literally meaning critical of Gender Ideology. I've already decided that men can't really be feminists, or if they are "feminists" they usually turn out to be misogynists without fail.
