That time Trump said Harriet Tubman should go on the $2 bill and not the $20

Getting a bit sick of some radfems implying that we should form some unholy alliance with the right wing while it whines about the oppression of white males and dog whistles about Andrew Jackson and caters to MRAs and bible thumping loons. They are NOT the natural allies of radical feminism, in any way, shape, or form, just because they overlap somewhat on trans issues. This is pushing away gender critical WOC and lesbian women, women who are already marginalized by the right. Maybe because I live in the south where this stuff permeates every level of government, but I find the idea of a radfem supporting Trump to be...odd to put it very nicely.

Of course, the “woke” left fauxgressives are not allies either, seeing as they want to throw women under the bus in favor of TIMs and tell horribly oppressed, disadvantaged women in poverty stricken countries that their misogynistic, violent religious governments are “empowering” for virtue signal points. So to make it clear, I’m not saying the mainstream left is any friend to women either! Ugh.

Absolutely. I’ll never understand that alliance. Trump hates women more than anything, why would anyone side with him, he’s proven it time and again. It is a dismissal and an ugly gesture to call yourself a rad fem and a trunk supporter

Honestly, I think that’s a very cool initiative! Thanks for sharing. I follow the Women’s Liberation Front too which seems to be very politically inclusive as long as it’s pro-women. I do like the idea of working together specifically on trans issues, as long as that doesn’t include a directive to vote Republican. Noticed a lot of comments in GC saying the best way forward is to vote for Trump. Don’t want to tell anyone how to vote, but I‘m personally very skeptical of that for the reasons I mentioned.

As long as I’m not politically empowering the religious right (even the Family Research Council’s official letter on Hands Across the Aisle shows their disdain and even blame-placing towards radical feminists and gay people for the trans movement), then I can see some room for pragmatic cooperation on aspects of protecting women’s rights.
