Can a trans woman be a feminist?I am a man
And I support female liberation
Because I support the all forms of human liberation
And feminism can be classed as a human liberation movement
But I would hesitate to call myself a Feminist
To me, only women can be Feminists
But I do believe that men can become allies of Feminism
I see Feminism as being a woman thing
Although as a man I approve of it very much
I'd say soCan a trans woman be a feminist?
Maybe not "should" but you see it everywhere.Yes. Men can also be stupid, but should they?
Presumably, if only because one can tick the feminist "DIR" box.Edit: I have now changed my mind!
I now think that a man can be a feminist
I see it as a part of the wider human liberation movement
Anyone that wants to change the culture to end social, economic, and political marginalization of women can be a feminist.
I have been a feminist since the seventies in the sense that I support gender equality socially and economically, as well as abortion rights.
But not out loud these days, at least not for awhile. The antipathy for men runs high now, especially in the light of the recent anti-abortion legislation in Texas. An expression of support is seen as patronizing and is unwelcome by enough people that one can expect to get his head bitten off for offering it. I consider myself a feminist and have been since the seventies, but for now, I'll give them a little space and remain silent in such discussions. I think it comes off as patronizing now.
TERFs/SWERFs
Aaaah more acronyms.
Crumbs. I'm guessing there's a lot of factional infighting? (Just guessing). I'll stick with the SMURFS.Trans-exclusionary radical feminists and sex work-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs and SWERFs)
