Transphobic feminists occupy a lot of my time. They really do–one of the biggest factors of Kyriarchy in the oppression of trans women (especially non-hetero ones) is the fact that our safe spaces, full of other women more or less just like us, are behind walls of angry political bad blood. So we do what we do best–we organize the small scraps of trans rebellion together and bring our sights to bear upon the source of our discontentment.

There seems little point in making a decent argument about this piece. It's stupid because it seeks to do business with scum

Feminists are racist, child abusing, nazis.

The claim that opposing them means supporting the supposed oppression of women makes as much sense as claiming that opposing Mugabie means inviting the white man to colonise and enslave Africa, or opposing armed bullies who wander around Palestine, attacking pregnant women and beating up little girls is the same as supporting the holocaust.

We can't do business with terrorists, racists, feminists, child abusers and bullies. They need to be opposed.
