I agree with you, I didn't comment/post on GC but I did see anti-trans content on there. But no one was actually advocating for violence like several other subs. It was a place for women to express their opinions and criticism. People should know what they are criticizing.

My personal thoughts regarding gender theory are that:

  • gender dysphoria is real and being transgender or transexual is a real thing

  • one must have gender dysphoria and want to do HRT and SRS in order to be trans. I understand there are factors like $$, loss of fertility, effectiveness in the surgery that are reasons why a trans person wouldn't want to have bottom surgery.

  • Biological sex is real and binary. Intersex people have conditions that are anomalies in the bimodal sex spectrum. They have portions of the male and female anatomy. As a species, one's sex determines their role in reproduction. Only males and females can reproduce and have children.

  • trans men are trans men and trans women are trans women. Trans men are female while trans women are male.

  • Homosexual = attracted to the same sex. Heterosexual = attracted to the opposite sex. Bisexual = attracted to both sexes. Attraction based on gender needs to use different terminology like "queer," "gynosexual," "androsexual," and "pangender/pansexual." The concept of genital preferences is low-key homophobic

  • Refusing to date someone because they are trans is not transphobic. Refusing to date someone because they are bi is not biphobic.

  • About bathrooms. Before all these bathroom bills, trans people have probably used the bathroom of their choice. It makes sense for passing, post-op trans people to use the bathroom of their choice. I think concerns about "cis" men pretending to be trans are valid. My solution would be to have single doored gender-neutral bathrooms. Each "stall" would have a toilet and sink and not be connected to others. Or I think it makes sense to have bathrooms labeled for men, women, and gender neutral.

  • Trans people who have gone through puberty should not be able to compete in sports as their desired gender. There should be 4 categories for sports: women's men;s trans women's and trans men's.

  • Children should not be on puberty blockers or HRT or any form of SRS. They cannot consent to any of this until they are 18.

  • "They" is a general pronoun used to refer to multiple people or to someone you don't know the gender of.

  • I think sharing pronouns helps people with "foreign" or ambiguous names. I don't have a problem referring to people by their desired pronouns if they are "she" and "he", but I really feel that I am butchering the English language when I use "they" to refer to a singular person. Also, any other pronouns are kind of ridiculous. Misgendering someone is not committing violence.

  • The meaning of the word "transphobic" is devalued when people label "trans critical" behavior as transphobic. Also a lot of people on Twitter are going on about how "so and so is transphobic and LITERALLY KILLING trans people" or "X thinks trans people don't have the right to exist." I think those responses are often an over-reaction. They should target that response to actual transphobes

  • Being non-binary isn't being transgender. I think nb people are just gnc and need therapy.

  • Having same sex spaces is not transphobic

These are just off the top of my head. I think being gender critical doesn't make someone a radfem. Personally I am radfem-leaning and transmed-leaning
