Why aren't these strong brave Radfem women speaking at Filia, LGB Alliance etc? Why aren't they mentioned, their books, their deeds? They were early to this entire problem and spoke out fearlessly and suffered.

Janice Raymond in particular has a new book out "Doublethink: A Feminist Challenge to Transgenderism"

I never see them mentioned by JCJ (recently and not in a good way), Kathleen Stock, HelenJoyce, Julie Bindel etc..

I'm livid to see them ignored and sidelined as they are the true heroines

Rather than be livid, maybe outline why you would like to see them acknowledged or platformed more rather than direct attention to those who you say don't mention them.

It's regrettable but it's not unusual for there to be a penalty for those who end up being classed as 'premature anti-[X]' - the best known examples are being premature anti-fascist or anti-Nazi.

I don't recall who they do name but I can recall the women you highlight as among those who acknowledge the debt to second wave feminism.
