View on transgender topics[edit]

The article states that radical feminists who challenge the term "trans exclusionary radical feminist", or TERF for short, consider it inaccurate because: "(citing, for example, their inclusion of trans men as women)".

Sounds like a contradiction since they are openly denying transgender experiences in that very sentence. How can that be inclusive? It would have been inclusive if they accepted a trans woman (a person assigned male at birth but who lives her life as a woman under all respects) in their group. Assuming good faith, either the person quoted got confused, or it makes no sense. 82.61.124.211 (talk) 10:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
