Since we're talking about TERFs, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring with some thoughts. My research on the roots of "radical feminist" thinking shows that they were not only trans exclusive, but also quite racist. Why are they called radical, you might be wondering.


"Radical" comes from the 1970s, when lesbian feminists worked to distinguish their political identities and demands from gay assimilation and liberal feminism by saying they were working for revolution.
