TransMen Inclusive Radical Feminist (TMIRC)

Do you think that those who throw the usual 'Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist' slur realise that actually they are the ones who are being exclusionary?

When feminists want to talk about menstruation or pregnancy or breastfeeding etc, because these are singularly female experiences, transmen are automatically included in those discussions because they are female?

Shouldn't the counter argument be that, actually, GC feminists are TMIRCs (TransMen Inclusionary Radical Feminists)?

No, that is no longer allowed.

Ohhh I see.

Can we say trans identifying female?

TFIRF Transgender Female Inclusive Radical Feminist then Prachet?

I think we need someone with a more talent to come up with a better acronym 😀

I don't like the word 'transmen' so it's not for me. Transgender females.

I think we may have got off on the wrong foot here camel, are we talking at cross-purposes?

I'm referring to the slur recently banned by Mumsnet, and a counter argument to that.

And trans exclusionary doesn’t equal feminism.

Not all GC people are feminists.

most people know the difference beteeen boys and girls without being feminists.

Yes cantankerous, I agree. But I think it may need to be spelt out to some that GC feminism does not equal trans exclusionary.

It’s just ‘feminist’

All feminism is gender critical, it’s a cornerstone of feminist theory. This is sociology 101

What’s with the C? Surely it should be TMIRF?
