Reactionary would be better. There's nothing 'radical' about transphobia.
I'm not trans, but if someone labels themselves "radical" they've gone too far.
Keep living your best lives, you deserve it
a common understanding of radical by self described radicals is "targeting the root of an issue" or the "wanting large systemic changes" that follows from that.
for radical feminists this means recognizing patriarchal power structures as the root of most gender related opressions and wishing to overcome them. while we can critique their exact analysis, i think the idea that many opressive acts are symptoms of deeper systemic opressions maked a lot of sense.
please don't let opressors convince you that liberation in itself goes too far. a better world is possible and the struggle for it is righteous.
Is radical a bad word? Its use is generally associated with revolutionary politics. The usage of the term by TERFs stems from second wave feminist theory. They have to specify that they are Trans Exclusionary to distinguish them from radical feminists as a whole, who are not necessarily Trans exclusionary.
But TERFs aren't radical. There is nothing 'radical' about transphobia.
How dare anyone stand against the status quo, am I right?
