Radical feminism isn't a club anyone can join and self identify as. It's a political movement with actual theoretical tenets tied to activism and action. If you do not agree with these theories then you're not a radical feminist. Plain and simple
You can call yourself anything you want, it doesn't make it true and it doesn't mean other people are required to play along for the sake of your ~feelings~

u know wat? ive been thinking on this for a long time since i made my last post about this shit, and ive changed my mind- in my opinion as a trans man, getting mad about “all men” posts as a trans man is self-absorbed. instead of getting mad even though you’re a fucking man so you can perpetuate misogyny (still no male privilege obviously, only cis men have that)... just try not being the fucking man that the post is complaining about. get over it
as a trans man, you CAN perpetuate misogyny (and transmisogyny. trans men were the ones who popularized the asterisk to try to exclude trans women). Do Not Act Like You Magically Can’t Just Cuz You’re Trans.
and as a sidebar, claiming you can do things like call yourself a lesbian (what the fuck?) or that you experience misogyny (even closeted) is bullshit and leans on terf (that’s trans exclusionary radical feminist) rhetoric. and its misgendering yourself. which is what society wants us to do. dont do that. “i used to identify as a girl and experienced misogyny then” is one thing (and even then dont try to hijack posts women are writing about misogyny cos you dont know as much since you ARENT A WOMAN) but right now while youre a man youre not experiencing misogyny. thats transphobia with no respect towards yr identity, even if they dont know
and dont fucking call it transmisandry. misandry was created by idiot cis men trying to act like theyre oppressed, its not “reclaiming” to take it. just call it transphobia.
also, if youre not a trans man, don’t fucking call yourself a lesbian if you’re dating a trans man. you fucking aren’t. you are not a fucking lesbian if you DATE A MAN. you’re misgendering your partner too and you are scum for trying to take the lesbian label
why is this stuff even slightly divisive. im just sorry it took me this long to realize this, but i will never let it go and i will never stop learning
ppl who arent trans men can reblog but if youre cis id appreciate not adding commentary cos you kind of have no stake in trans community issues
