I appreciate your considerable insight into all of this. It all sounds like a total shit show of a "road to hell paved with good intentions." I do think straight libfems believe they mean well, but they are rather easily silenced by the threat of losing male approval and tend to take very weak stances on almost everything because of this- at least lesbians give zero fucks about male opinion in general, but as you pointed out, a lot of lesbian and gay political organizations are still quite sensitive to other accusations, like not being "intersectional" or "inclusive" enough, even when that turns out to mean... absolutely nothing except for letting white TIMS take over everything in sight to the detriment of everyone else.

The way white TIM "transbians" weaponize hollow accusations of racism is just as disgusting and as opportunistic as I would expect, especially because I have seen them say to black women online that "if YOU can be considered women, then we should be too" (excuse me, WTF?!) while screaming that lesbians need to love girldick...their audacity is unbelievable.

That's a great point also about how many black lesbians these "transbians" have actually worked to include in policy, which appears to be approximately ZERO. I am still learning about all of what's going on out there, so your comment was very insightful; I was speechless about that recent case of Emilia Decaudin, the white TIM in New York who pushed aside a highly qualified black woman candidate during a district election by getting the NY Democratic Party to dismantle their historical "1 male, 1 female" representation rule that was hard-fought by the suffragettes. Then he squawked about "promoting inclusion and engagement of people of color...who are often ignored" after he shouldered a black woman out of candidacy, and she appears to have years of experience in education and local public service (that he obviously doesn't have) and grew up in the area she was representing (and he did not). It sure would be nice if words were allowed to mean things-- racism, inclusivity..these should mean something other than being buzzwords that can be exploited by people who are not operating in good faith at all, like white "transbians."

The Women's March case you described was also very interesting. Libfems need to think more critically about what "inclusion" actually means- some whacko misogynistic religious organization screaming about black women being submissive did not have any business getting into the middle of the march, but again, it's like they were afraid to put their foot down, or thought it was "the right thing to do." This is why as soon as I even knew what radical feminism was, I knew I was a radfem, lol. I have a lot to learn, and I'm sure radical feminism is a work in progress, but it's ridiculous what is going on.
