V funny, especially the 'non binary' definition

Not at all. We have recently learned that there are many lurkers, even in the frightening Feminist corner of Mumsnet.

Noooo nooo it’s too funny I can’t

I wonder how long it will take this thread to be deleted for the crime of mocking silliness.

(When it's women mocking silliness perpetrated by men this is clearly just not on.)

A post taking the piss out of queer people really doesn't make me want to read her whole blog.

I am "queer" and I don't feel as though it's taking the piss out of me, feel it's validating my experience of being marginalised and my experience being appropriated by men.

How feminist is taking the piss out of minorities? Not very.

@WidowWadman except it isn't, is it? It's taking the piss out of a group of largely very privileged people who have appropriated the language of oppressed groups, and who then demand those oppressed groups centre and service them.

Under ridiculous current TRA definitions I would count as both queer and trans (although I don't use that language because, as the OP says, "queer" has been appropriated by straight people, and although I'm "agender", like many - most? - other women here, I don't call myself agender because I think gender identity theory is all bollocks) and I think that blog is brilliant.

If cis means being OK with the gender role assigned to you by society than the number of cis radfems is zero, and would be pretty low for many other branches of feminism too.
