As a trans-inclusive radical feminist sick of radical feminism being tainted by their bullshit, I strongly disagree. Let them pick a new name showing how far they’ve strayed from the feminist ideal that biology shouldn’t determine destiny.

I hear "TERF," and my attention goes to the bit on "Trans-exclusive". Never gave the "Radical feminism" bit much thought.

And before TERFs became a thing, it was just radical feminism. Having to modify it with "trans exclusive" suggests that inclusivity is actually the default position.

Except how often do you hear about radical feminists who aren’t TERFs anywhere in mainstream discourse? For much of the population, TERFs are the only “radical feminists” they hear about. (I reject the idea that a belief that biology is destiny as compatible with feminism in any case.). It’s not so much people in this community I worry about getting the wrong idea, it’s everywhere else.
