If it makes you feel better, most radical feminists in this space are just gender critical women.
Radical feminists, and I mean real ones, don't actually act like this.
Biphobia isn't feminist. And nearly every woman on radblr is biphobic.
Only a few gold bars are true radical feminists, but most here aren't at all.
You say that, but Kathleen Stock and Julie Bindel exist, not mentioning the history of biphobia in the movement (from the bright-eyed lesbian encouragement and celebration of bisexual women who were pushed to call themselves "lesbians" too, right up until that was considered predatory and homophobic, history erased to attack and blame those bisexual women without understandings of context to hate us even more.
I was more naive to think that the old biphobia had simply disappeared with time, and then I've been rudely awakened to the modern facts on the ground. It's a different kind of biphobia, but only because it's a modern kind of biphobia.
At the end of the day, I understand what you're saying and I generally agree, but when the movement is full of fauxminists who are accepted by other fauxminists and that's the face of the movement, and there are no loud voices drowning out the biphobes and supporting bisexual women, then we can't No True Scotsman it.
When TRAs are faced with lists and lists of other TRAs saying horrendous things and being blatantly bigoted, they often say that either those people aren't "really trans/TRAs," or that they're just individual examples, but we know that because there isn't mass condemnation etc it's a general issue with the movement itself.
There is a reason that so many biphobes flock to the label and feel empowered by said label to be as biphobic as possible.
And this isn't just me navel-gazing. This is the result of talking constantly with other bisexual women and having my eyes ripped wide open by them.
It's like feminism itself. Once you see the world for how it really is, you can't go back and unring that bell. It's the same when it comes to biphobia. Once you see it and truly understand it, the bell doesn't stop ringing.
