Don't forget RadFem ideology means turning against any woman who doesn't agree with them. The amount of radfems I've seen who with harm and death on women who don't agree with their views is frightening.
Radfem ideology is also about infantilising adult women and taking away their free will and self-determination. Like *30yo woman living the life that makes her happy* must be being manipulated by the big scary men and can't possibly be thinking for herself because she's just a naive little baby lost in the PaTriaRChy!*
Radfem ideology that women are sweet, gentle angels also allows for abusive women to get away with lies, manipulation, and violence because they use the ideology of "victimhood". *Women can't be abusive towards anyone because they're oppressed and victims of the patriarchy.
Overall, Terfs and Radfems are actually anti-feminist, because they take away from the equality of women, simultaneously casting them as both saintly and infantile. It's dehumanising.
It is deeply, deeply beneficial to TERFs if the only characteristic of TERF ideology you will recognize as wrong, harmful, or problematic is “they hate trans women”.
TERF ideology is an expansive network of extremely toxic ideas, and the more of them we accept and normalize, the easier it becomes for them to fly under the radar and recruit new TERFs. The closer they get to turning the tide against all trans people, trans women included.
Case in point: In 2014-2015, I fell headlong into radical feminism. I did not know it was called radical feminism at the time, but I also didn’t know what was wrong with radical feminism in the first place. I didn’t see a problem with it.
I was a year deep into this shit when people I had been following, listening to, and looking up to finally said they didn’t think trans women were women. It was only then that I unfollowed those people, specifically; but I continued to follow other TERFs-who-didn’t-say-they-were-TERFs. I continued ingesting and spreading their ideas- for years after.
If TERFs “only target trans women” and “only want trans women gone”, if that’s the one and only problem with their ideology and if that’s the only way we’ll define them, we will inevitably miss a vast majority of the quiet beliefs that support their much louder hatred of trans women.
As another example: the trans community stood relatively united when TERFs and conservatives targeted our right to use the correct restroom, citing the “dangers” of trans women sharing space with cis women. But when they began targeting Lost Little Girls and Confused Lesbians and trotting detransitioners out to raise a panic about trans men, virtually the only people speaking up about it were other transmascs. Now we see a rash of anti-trans healthcare bills being passed in the US, and they’re hurting every single one of us.
When you refuse to call a TERF a TERF just because they didn’t specifically say they hate trans women, when you refuse to think critically about a TERF belief just because it’s not directly related to trans women, you are actively helping TERFs spread their influence and build credibility.
