I mean infighting would assume we are on the same side. My logic is my enemy of my enemy is still in truth my enemy. Just because we hold for similar causes doesn't make you my friend. If rad fem ideology wasn't so inherently unpopular I would treat them the same as TRAs and they have just as many idiotic beliefs. I mean even their stances on what causes trans issues I firmly object to. They have a habit of ascribing every FTM as being just harmed by bad perceptions of her body whereas every man is just a fetish sex pest. Despite the fact many MTF are deeply misandristic or hate their bodies and that tons of FTM over idolize the sexual aspects of men and gay relationships. Plus honestly if you want these issues to be taken seriously by society the last thing you want it is to be stapled to is any rad fems. Extremists don't help your cause.

I agree it's not really related to the discussion of the sub but personally I don't know how common it is on here but ultimately while most women are wrongfully called TERFs for having issues with trans right activists I don't have any real sympathy for real TERFs. People who buy into radical feminist ideologies.

Confused by the dubiously claimed comment. It's pretty obvious there isn't really much to doubt there.

My argument is not about what radfems believe, I am questioning why there is a sudden influx of anti-ovarit sentiment here when it doesn't have anything to do with the purpose of this forum.

Ovarit users want to drop the T. We want to drop the T. Posting ovarit-hate here makes no sense unless there are ulterior motives.

Posting ovarit-hate

It's not "ovarit-hate," it's calling out homophobia.

I agree. This is all irrelevant to LGBDropTheT. I have no interest in participating in Ovarit, which is why I’m here and not there. Radical feminism is an ideology that is separate and apart from being attracted to the same sex. Radical feminism tends to have a lot in common with gender identity ideology, both being rooted in critical theory, and adherence to neither is inherent to being LGB. At the same time, radical feminism is so aggressively alienating that it will never have the cultural impact as TQ. For some of us, radfemmery/Gender Critical were stops on our peaking journey because they are the face of being critical of gender identity ideology. But then we realized we were at odds with them too.

So yea we get it. But there isn’t a lot of radfemmery around these parts and these posts are off-topic for this sub. Can we move on now?
