Chelsea Sayre, one of my fellow Transadvocate columnists with whom I have disagreed with before, just wrote another post in which I need to point out what she failed to discuss.
In her post she calls out elements of the trans community for the escalating nastiness as she saw it between the feminist and trans feminine communities that needs to stop. On that point I agree with Chelsea that it is deplorable and needs to stop before somebody gets hurt on either side.
I may be wrong but from my experience most Aussie feminists are happy to have us along. Once they realise we are feminists ourselves, I think some value our experience in the male world, and the fact that we have rejected the male dominated gender order.
I don't count Germaine Greer, who has lived in the UK for so long she no longer has any relevance.
As most of the older 2nd Wave Feminists are getting on in years, they will start dying off anyway.

There are differences between the social (or liberal) feminists, and the radical feminists.
The radical feminists operate from a position of hatred, and include all those as enemies who are born females.
Radical feminism hs accomplished nothing except to sew discord.
