This person has only just discovered the concept of 'radical feminism' and think it's just a euphemism for TERFs?

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Where have they been hiding for the last 30+ years?

This is why I struggle to take transwomen who claim to be feminists seriously because so few of them seem to have the slightest knowledge of feminist theory or the history of the fight for equal civil rights for women. The ignorance in that Medium post is astounding.

No one told the RadFems that not all women menstruate

I bet I, being a woman, can tell him more reasons a woman isn't menstruating than he can - many of which I'll have experienced myself, so yes, actually, we are well aware that not all women menstruate, and shock horror, even those of us who don't menstruate (or aren't menstruating right now) don't mind other women who do, we don't mind people saying that 'women menstruate', because why the hell would we.

Given they have names and shamed Venice with some pretty specific things, is it possible for her to call out Medium and to get them to print a retraction or sue them for libel (or at least threaten to!) or tpo print a much more balanced piece or report the author for hate speech or something - albeit I'm not sure what!

Omg they’re describing themselves Shock

That feeling when the projection is so clear that anyone who reads it reaches peak trans and slowly backs away.

Exactly Jelly.

are completely consumed by their hatred and any awareness of a shared reality is entirely absent- They exist in an imaginarium where only others like themselves exist. They feed off each others rage. They have handed over their freedom of thought and developed a hive mind, informing each others opinions- and their very souls have gone septic, sending them into a state of madness not altogether unlike a rabid dog. They can no longer differentiate between right and wrong, helpful or harmful, kindness or cruelty. They have gone primitive, they only know outrage. They fling their arms about, bellowing inflammatory slurs and when shut out by the public, they complain they have been oppressed

Sorry, who's he describing?

Hmm

FFS! They don’t need to beat us with their terf bats. They could just force us to read that pathetic, woman hating drivel and we’d die of boredom. 😴 I got so bored I couldn’t be arsed reading the last few paragraphs, as I assume it was just the same continuous rant, with a few words swapped around. It was like one of those ramblings we’ve all had to listen to, when someone gets really drunk/high at a party and thinks they’re suddenly very deep and philosophical. He didn’t half drone on.

Well that's just a big ol' pile of projection, lesbophobia and lies.

It’s almost like this is a symptom of various medical conditions only of concern to women or women of certain ages or having undergone treatment, surgery or similar.

Words fail me! What a load of lesbian hating bilge.
