Radical Feminism is a political movement in pursuit of global liberation of women from sex-based oppression. I implore you all to do your research before sending rape threats and suicide-baiting Radical Feminists on the Internet for being labeled, ‘Terfs.’ Turn on the news once in awhile and you’ll understand why women around the world still need Radical Feminism. Women can’t identify their way out of oppression on the basis of Gender-Identity. Women aren’t asked their pronouns before being abducted, sold, mutilated, probed, thrown out of villages for menstruating, etc.
Women are oppressed because of their biological sex:

Radical Feminism exclusively focuses on liberating women from sex-based oppression. Radical Feminism wants to dismantle the social system in which men hold primary power of political leadership and moral authority over women worldwide—(ie. The Patriarchy.) Many Trans Activists oppose any political movement that focuses exclusively on sex-based oppression, because they believe that addressing how biological sex plays an important factor in women’s oppression globally, will invalidate the gender identity of Trans women. But the fact of the matter is, Trans women cannot relate to the struggles of women worldwide because of our difference in biological sex. This statement isn’t rooted in hatred, it is just a simple observable fact. We do not have the same experiences. Trans Activism and Radical Feminism have different priorities and require separate movements to achieve their goals, and that’s perfectly okay. Trans rights are human rights, but it should not come at the expense of women’s rights. Silencing women who speak up about reproductive health, menstruation, same sex attraction, or their shared experiences with oppression around the world is not progressive.
I would very much appreciate it if you could spread the word, considering the fact that you’re getting so much hate mail right now for being a Radfem. Half of the people sending you death threats haven’t bothered doing their research about our political movement. @lovelymedusa
