    I dig the message

    but whenever I see someone identifying as radfems I get scared they are doing transphobic stuff. And I was right again. I dont think promoting content creators that participate in trans hate is the way to go. I hope the radfem movement as a whole manages to deal with this better.

    If you are interested in receipts let me know via comment or dm

    receipts, cw transphobia

    Based on this post I would say the Instagram Account radfemverity is run by the same person

    radfemverity promoted several other radfem acocunts, multiple are very transphobic

    radfemverity also posted some transphobic:


    If anyone has questions why I think some of those posts are transphobic, feel free to ask. If anyone needs image descriptions, also feel free to ask in a comment, maybe we as a community manage to do them together.

      It’s interesting that the focus from transphobes seems exclusively on trans women rather than trans men. Like, looking at the tumblr another user linked, I saw this account reblogged someone who said basically she didn’t like penis and if that made her a terf then okay. I’m guessing that doesn’t mean she’d pursue a relationship with a trans man just because he didn’t have a dick.

      Similarly, I don’t hear the “NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS” crowd getting in their feelings about trans men wanting to compete in men’s sports, or mentioning trans men at all.

        Transmen do face discrimination, and it’s often times violent, though you’re correct, they generally aren’t the focus. I think that there are a couple of factors at play with the focus on transwomen. The first factor is, from their point of view, transwomen are viewed as an attack on masculinity, both as a rejection of “traditional” masculinity and the “scary” thought that they might be attracted to a transwoman. Furthermore, there is an often unspoken acknowledgment among transphobes of different stripes that men are inherently dangerous, that their violence is barely contained by the rigid structures of society. In this world view, a transwoman is both rejecting her masculinity while also attempting to subvert the structures of society to act out on her violent masculine impulses. It’s contradictory, moronic, and plain wrong in the assumptions made, but that is their world view.

        Whoa, that is not what that link showed. What it showed was her reblogging a post that called trans women sex entitled incel men.

        Different post, my bad!
