The Construct of the transradfem is increasingly transmisogynist. if you suggest that using tma/tme leads to grooming, you are disgustingly transmisogynistic.
Rad feminism is a specific ideology, with specific political goals.
Even the most militant transfem separatist is theorizing about a safe space for transfems that does not currently exist- Transfems as a political group do not hold the power to create such a space and the fight currently is for transfem inclusion in spaces that currently violently exclude us- and to compare that movement with Terfs, a political ideology that actively seeks and exerts constant political pressure to exclude trans people from the safe spaces that have already been constructed, One that is succeeding and actively influencing policy, is an obvious spit in the face of transfems.
The transradfem is a transmisogynist construct first and always.
Transmisogynists, and the general public do not take transfems seriously- They do not take transmisogyny to the be the violent oppression it is- and the typical person's response to transfems bringing it up is take the position that said transfem is complaining about minor issues in an attempt to center herself.
it is so plain to the trans women that are being constructed as privileged entitled members of the community with an outsized need to make it about themselves that that is what is happening- and the denial of that pattern is a reinforcement of the behavior in transmisogynists.
I won't pretend that there aren't transfems being rude- transfems being condescending and bitchy- transfems discussing and theorizing about transmisogyny in ways that exclude and do not cater to transmascs. Why are they not allowed that? Why the fuck do you have a problem with transfems focusing on their own issues???
TME people constantly misunderstand what that (tme) means, what transmisogyny is, and assert they face it too- Correctly asserting that they are not 100% exempt from Transmisogyny- and taking it to the logical end, that that incidental transmisogyny they face is the same as the systematic and structural transmisogyny Transfems face.
I don't have to know exactly what they experienced to know that they are uneducated and have an incomplete and dismissive construct of what Transmisogyny is- just based on the way they speak about it. That is a completely reasonable assertion, and one that is fair for all transfems to make.
Be honest. have you done explicit direct work to both acknowledge and address your transmisogynist bias? if not you can consider yourself uneducated and your opinions of transmisogyny are beyond meaningless, they in fact will be biased and bigoted. always.
if your response to being called on transmisogyny is to think the transfem is asserting it to play a game of oppression olympics, instead of actually considering how your words affect her first, You are playing directly into your transmisogynist bias to believe the transfem has ulterior motives.
