Is it just me or does this sound transphobic

44. Because these women self-identified as radical feminists

But insist that trans women are not women. It isn't just about being transphobic-it is about claiming the mantle of radical feminism - but very intentionally labeling trans women as men, and excluding them from participation and from the vision of women's equality. I first encountered this group of women in the early 70s - although the message was a bit broader then -all men are the enemy, so you can"t be a feminist if you are sleeping with them. I haven't heard the message that broadly stated in recent years, but it continues in a milder form in the cruel and the intentional exclusion of trans women from the vision of this small group of radical feminists.

There are people who label all feminists with whatever broad-brush slur they can. That's not going to stop. But I think we do ourselves harm by not calling out and labeling fringe groups for what they are, and TERF describes precisely who these individuals are - radical feminists who exclude trans women from their ranks.

As for why no similar label for men- I am not aware of any similar group of men who radically advocate for men' rights, yet deliberately exclude trans men.
