Certain radfems don’t seem to get (or even want to get) that straight and bi women aren’t free to talk about and express opposite sex attraction even while heterosexuality is compulsory under patriarchy.
Keeping intersectionality in mind makes it clear. Yes, heteronormativity and het (passing) privilege are real, but at the same time misogyny leaves no women free to enjoy sexuality. It’s all put to the service of men in some way (str8 = fuck fodder, bi = 3sum, les = porn)
Like how men demean women as airheaded b*mbos while also demanding femininity, men degrade women for desiring/fucking them while pressuring women to do exactly that. Hence why “wh*re” and similar terms are insults. Women can never win, that’s how patriarchy works.

To be *gender* critical is to be critical of “gender” as a concept. Meaning gender in its entirety, including identity as well as stereotypes and roles. It’s not *transgender* critical or gender *identity* critical. I will say this as much as it needs to be said.
Ironic. Aren’t GCs supposed to be the ones saying that words mean something? This one does too. The term “gender critical” came about as a way to describe radical feminist views on gender and denote people who may agree on that but not other aspects of radical feminism.
If you are not also scrutinizing the sexism in society driving a lot of and even enabling this trans identification to begin with, then you are not criticizing gender. The entire basis of radical feminists and friends opposing this movement is the misogyny that it reinforces.

I hope Lil Nas X sees the homophobia being thrown at him by trans activists and peaks.
And the thing is, he is a trans ally! I remember seeing him in an ad where he states his pronouns. Yet more proof that nothing will ever be enough. Particularly for women and gay people, especially for those who are both.
You can say the shibboleths, it’s worthless unless you submit to the gender fandom mind, body, and soul.

“To Dana Beyer, a trans activist in Maryland who is also a retired surgeon, such stories illustrate how vital it is that sex, not just gender identity — how someone perceives their gender — is taken into consideration in medicine.” bariweiss.substack.com/p/med-schools-…
“The practice of medicine is based in scientific reality, which includes sex, but not gender,” Beyer says. “The more honest a patient is with their physician, the better the odds for a positive outcome.”
“The denial of sex doesn’t help anyone, perhaps least of all transgender patients who require special treatment. But, Lauren says, instructors who discuss sex risk complaints from their students — which is why, she thinks, many don’t.”

I honestly can’t be assed about radical feminists forming coalition with right wingers. I’d rather not but meh, the entire point of politics is building connections.
Our bad faith detractors are gonna try to discredit us anyway. Even if we don’t go and work with the right, “left leaning” opponents of radical feminism are still gonna point to the “overlap” in our views, opposition to the trans movement, to tar us with the same brush.
They’re clearly not in good faith and are gonna find any reason to smear, slander, and dismiss us. So why keep playing their game? Why keep jumping through their hoops? Even if we don’t touch rightists with a ten foot pole and take the high way, you think they care?
