(310 posts)She's extremely transphobic, being part of a branch of radical feminism called "trans-exclusionary" radical feminism. This strand of radical feminism is characterized by transphobia, especially transmisogyny, and hostility to the third wave of feminism. They believe that the only "real women" are those born with a vagina and XX chromosomes. They wish to completely enforce the classic gender binary, supporting gender essentialism. Sex worker exclusionary radical feminism (also known as SWERF) is yet another offshoot of radical feminism, one that opposes women's participation in pornography and prostitution.
It's a disgusting, horrible worldview, and pro-equality intersectional feminists who want to uplift trans folk shouldn't stand for this nonsense.
