What gets me is that this kind of hateful, violent rhetoric is seen by many as okay because it's somehow in self-defence, against the greater danger trans people face to their lives and safety.

And I don't deny that trans people have been and still are attacked and raped and murdered. But. Who's doing that? Who's threatening their safety in men's bathrooms and men's prisons? Who attacked and killed Brandon Teena? "Prostitutes in the most danger are PoC trans sex workers!" Okay, and who's killing them?
It's not radical feminists. It's men.

The system isn't radical feminism. It's patriarchy.

We're not 'excluding' you from feminism, trans people. Stand with us. Fight against destructive and violent patriarchy with us. Wear what you want, present how you like, accept that your personal feelings of "gender identity" don't actually override millennia of gender designed and maintained as repressive social structure, and stand with us. If you're targeting your fury at "TERFs" and not men and patriarchy, you're excluding yourselves.
