Is anyone aware of any groups similar to the Chicago Feminist Salon meeting in person in other major US cities? I know Austin TX has a strong lesbian community but I haven't heard of any similar group there.
There's a presence in most major US cities. They just have varying levels of visibility. It took me a year to find mine and then it was a ton of people.
search “-city- terf” and “-city- radfem” and “-city- radical feminist” on google, DuckDuckGo, Twitter, Facebook etc
search “terf” and “radfem” on Twitter then restrict to near me. I’ve found a few terfs this way, one who has GC daughters my age! (This one just happened)
