askaradfem: *nods head in agreement* ~Mod Neo The only way I can understand “TIRF” is that some of these women or teenaged girls who are labelling themselves that are trying to avoid hate-mail and other forms of online abuse or cyber-bullying from liberal “feminists” and the queer/trans activists on this site. TIRF makes no sense (true) since RadFems are not male inclusive (it’s a core tenet y’all. Read it and weep. Radical Feminism is a female-centric, female-only Feminism. No males allowed) but some women or girls who agree with bits and pieces of RadFeminism (like our anti-porn and anti-bdsm stances) could be calling themselves that in an attempt to deter online aggression from third wavers by trying to emphasize that they still embrace and promote PoMo genderist neurosexist queer theory (which isn’t compatible with Radical Feminism and blatantly ignores that RadFems are gender abolitionists or “gender critical” and don’t deny sex-based oppression/ female oppression and the existence of two distinct biological sexes but without a belief in gendered inherent brain-wiring or “lady brain” or “male brain”).



TIRF refers to those of us who accept the existence of sex/body dysphoria and support those with it. As much as nondysphoric “trans women” aka predatory men trying to get into women’s spaces seem to be the face of being transgender right now, that’s not what the word originally meant.

Sex dysphoria is rare and nearly everyone who claims to be trans these days isn’t, but I’m not going to start making my partner (who feels like she is meant to be sexless) feel like shit because a few others radfems don’t think I should take care of her.
