You should really look into what the Daughters of Bilitis were up to, and books like the The Transsexual Empire. A book I cannot say the full name of for it contains a slur. Historically feminist groups have attacked transgender women and gay men for "Infringing upon what it means to be a woman." permalink fedilink source parent [–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 14 points 1 year ago I believe they're a religious group under the guise of feminism and child protection.

They're increasingly dogmatic with their teachings, a feminist will spout party lines without thinking about them precisely the way a christian will. A god hasn't emerged yet afaik but a canon of saints is emerging, to include Marie Curie and Amelia Earhart. Unironically yes, who else has any use for International Women's Day. They've even got unhinged extremists, like these assholes in Australia. permalink fedilink source parent
