I have mixed feelings on this (not because I want to accept transphobes as anything other than the scum of the earth) I’m uncomfortable with cis feminists distancing themselves from transphobic feminists and being all “no true Scotsman” IDK

this is how I feel about SWERFs as well as feminists that shit on home makers. Like there is a fucking long history of feminists shitting on other women and to deny those DECADES of abuses is horrendous. The same with “white feminism” it’s all still feminism it’s just fucked feminism. plus the whole lingo to silence women nowadays of just calling them a “libfem” is so gross. like I get ACTUAL lib fems are annoying (ie “wearing my hair short as a straight owman is a feminist choice teehee!”) but it’s a term being used to like silence women now. 

Like on the one hand in terms of the movement, they are feminists, on the other hand in terms of serving the stated goal of feminism (I.E. Liberating women) they’re useless, also SWERFs and TERFs are actually just libfems, like there is nothing so perfectly liberal as denying the oppression of the oppressed and acting as “savior” to people who don’t want to be saved.
