Radical feminism is no end-all, be-all authority around here, which is why this is a nicer place to discuss all of this. Dogma is a popular hiding place in radfem circles from what many of us report having seen. And yes, I think we can all agree that we don't have all the answers about some things, but the problem is that abusive people are trying to cram their answers down everyone else's throats, and in the case of TRAs that's actually true (unlike some religious fundamentalist claiming that even knowing that gay people exist infringes on their rights somehow), given that the changes they are trying to force are doing to harm other people.

So I see no need for you to feel guilty or some sense of loyalty to radical feminism about any of this. Quite a few of us don't align with their views enough to consider ourselves radical feminists. It's a Venn diagram and there's some overlap, but far from 100%.

So if I may offer you a different take, I don't see you wavering, just thinking for yourself like (most of) the rest of us here.
