yeah she’s definitely a white supremacist yall

[cryptogamist]

the thing redberryterf doesn't realise is that by perpetuating racist rhetoric about the danger and sexual violence of brown and black men, she is actually using racism to discredit feminism

a core anti-feminist argument from day one has been "come on, not all men are that bad. this isn't a systemic problem in our society, it's a case of some people... some of whom happen to be men... doing evil things because they are evil people."

and a core feminist job from day one has been saying "no. it is all men, all the time, everywhere."

but expressing your racist thoughts is more important than maintaining the foundations of feminist belief ig

[anti-terf-posts]

Mass report @/redberryterf she defines herself the "terf final boss" and is obsessed with comparing trans people to pedophiles

imagine being so egotistical you think you're the best out of one of the worst groups of people 😭

[lesblizzard-ultradyke]

it's insane that those tras say radblr is supporting redberryterf when my dash is bullying the shit out of her ever since she posted that idiocy of her

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

Why would you care about men suffering from racism when they'd never defend women of color from it? (Like how much black men hate black women and are guilty of most of their suffering) Besides redberryterf never said white men were saints (no one did)

And why are male crime statistics believed but somehow the ethnicity ones are fake? Something's not adding up

"nOoNe SaId ThEy WeRe SaInTs". Redberryterf and others specifically said they're safer. She said it was safe in Finland to walk alone at night. Meanwhile other Finnish women were like what the fuck are you taking about, but she ignored them.

And don't talk to me about crime statistics by ethnicity when you and the rest continually ignore, as I said to that person in the replies (probably you lmao), that crime statistics show that sexually violent men are most a danger to *women of their own race*. No one has provided any evidence that white women are more in danger from immigrant men or from men of colour in general than they are from white men.

White men are not safer to women. Not at all. Stop deflecting. Stop changing the subject. Stop changing the goalposts. Stop pretending you give a shit about women of colour. Stop. Being. A racist. Stop defending white men. They're not going to treat you as more than a broodmare just because you tell them what they want to hear.

Hi! Saw your post on redberryterf and racism.

I'm not PoC(nebulous USA spicy white but I come from immigrants) but I've been eyeing that user specifically for a fucking minute tbh. Her posts always seemed too edgy and evocative of the alt-right to me, in a way I couldn't quite describe much less prove something wrong with. Lo and behold LOL.

The truth is racism is everywhere there's white people and especially there's racism where there's Not Supposed To Be, like radical leftist organizing.

Queer AND radical feminist spaces host plenty of racism cloaked in whatever politically correct language, because both Queer and Radical Feminist discourse spaces on the English-speaking internet are predominantly white, western, upper middle class and college-educated.

I've seen some women on here try to claim Radical Feminism is *thee* feminism of the rest of the world, but I find that disingenuous. Most American and British radical feminists are nothing like Korean or Chinese radical feminists, and who knows what would happen if we were all in the same conference as those in Mexico, Romania, Greece. A responsible feminist would not try to separate herself from racism in her own movement by claiming The PoC Agree and would instead acknowledge and address it.

Climbed in your inbox because I think it will do us all a service to discuss how racism is enabled in leftist spaces regardless of the rest of our political alignments x have a good day.

hello!! i really appreciate this, so thank you. i agree with what you said wholeheartedly (ill have to look up the poc agree, though, not very familiar with that). i think people assume that just because a space is far left it is automatically exempt from racism, which is just. factually incorrect.

i mean, to begin with, there is no community in the whole world that is fully exempt from any sort of bigotry. that just doesn't happen. there is no community like that. not the trans community, not the queer community, not the radfem community, that's just not real. the thing is that bigots are everywhere. sometimes they do it out of malice, "infiltrating" those spaces aware that what they're parroting is harmful but uncaring, but more likely it's just ignorance, completely unaware that what they're saying is Actually Bad because they've been trained to not question their own thoughts ever.

so whether it's malice or ignorance, it is a lie to say that (x) community is completely free of all bigotry, which is a feeling that i have seen, whether implicitly or explicitly, in a lot of rad-whatever spaces. i mean, have you fucking browsed the "radqueer" tag over here on tumblr? that shit has more intolerance than fucking fox news and it's all completely masked under "radical acceptance", "positivity" and "equality". that is not what you'll find in their communities, though. and though not as extreme or as obvious, the radfem community is like that in many ways.

the fact that your community has a common goal of equality does not mean that your methods are sensible or justified, and it definitely doesn't mean the members of your community are somehow magically exempt from being the sort of people that actively goes against equality.

my problem with the radfem community specifically goes a bit further than just the general lack of awareness and accountability about and to the occasional bigot hiding in plain sight. i believe the entire community is built on a narrative that ends up being a type of "slippery slope" that very often leads to bigotry. so more than the occasional bigot, i think a lot of what is in the radfem community actively leads people to be less tolerant and accepting of others, in many ways.

one of them is the fact that a lot of classic and even some modern radfem writers and activists were and are incredibly racist (and sometimes homophobic as well), which is a fact that is rarely acknowledged in radfem spaces, if at all. and it shouldn't be just acknowledged, there should be some sort of active work to push the ideas influenced by that hate out of the community.

i also believe that when put in practice, a lot of radfem beliefs make people assume that women are the most oppressed group there is, automatically putting them as winners in the oppression olympics and completely disregarding how being negatively affected by one axis of oppression doesn't erase the fact that you can still be privileged in other ways. if women are the True Oppressed Class, then they can't oppress anyone else in any other way. maybe they can acknowledge that certain women can oppress other women, but anyone outside of their class? unfathomable. and this perpetuates many harmful rethorics.

another big problem i have is, naturally, the transphobia, leading radfems to more often than not become terfs. the unwillingness to accept that someone that wasn't Born A Woman(tm) can find genuine joy and comfort in womanhood - it must be a lie to hurt women, or a mental illness acquired through degeneracy, or a mockery, because women are the True Oppressed Class, after all, that's the opposite of joy and comfort. or the unwillingness to accept that someone that was Born A Woman(tm) might not find womanhood suit for them for many reasons, not all of them born from misogyny. but i know that we're talking specifically about the racism in that community and that is fine. im just making a link to how hate is often "intertwined", and one will feed the other.

regarding racism specifically, i do think the radfem community needs to do better in acknowledging and fighting it, more than most communities considering the aforementioned points. unfortunately, the only radfems ive seen on tumblr actively work for that were menalez and another one who's url i cant remember right now.

regarding bigotry in general, i think most radfems need to rethink a lot of stuff and see where their priorities lay. i think all communities would benefit from that, truly, specially left leaning and far left ones that believe themselves to be Truly Good And Pure (free from hate) - including the trans community, for the record.

and i think people of color aren't listened enough in society, which results in us being shut down when speaking about how that reflects in our respective communities, which results in people like redberryterf feeling comfortable enough to share her horribly racist opinions freely and without a care. i personally had already gotten into a debate with her before in which i told her she had to rethink some stuff but naturally i was ignored. which is why i referred to her as a well known person in the community: i don't interact that often but i had already stumbled across her posts multiple times and a lot of them have a LOT of likes. she isn't as big as menalez or that pineapple blog, but she was definitely influential in some way. and yet no one called her out on her bigotry until it was as obvious as it can be. i mean, it doesn't get any clearer than "i don't care that im being racist". she was spoonfed so much hatred that her perception of reality was altered to the point where being racist was probably a bad thing, but it was fine as long as it was towards men. then it's warranted. she's a woman, after all, the supreme oppressed class, she could never oppress anyone else.

anyways, this was a long fucking way of saying To Fight Bigotry You Have To Study Your Roots, Acknowledge Nuance And Different Points Of View, Listen To And Spread Awareness About Marginalized People and Never Ever Assume That You Are Exempt From Bigotry. That's A Sign That You Are Parroting Bigotry.

thank you for your ask. i think it's super important to find common ground with people you disagree with, and fighting racism is always important. im sorry for the long fucking reply, i hope it was at least a little bit coherent. sorry for occasional grammar mistakes or poor english in general, it isn't my first language. and have a good day!

the redberryterf account is new and only has bot influencer-like gender critical posts. No real radfem content. It's likely a fake account/troll

eh not that new tho, at this point it’s like 5-6 months old. but ur right the stuff she has posted and said is very surface-level and very lacking in any kind of critical thinking. this isn’t her first time saying sth ridiculous tho…

wilder thing to me is a lot of ppl defended & agreed with this post of hers. idk how ppl can see prostitution for what it is and know of the harms of porn then argue AI characters & trans women should go thru it instead ???

[cringefail-loser]

redberryterf got banned!

AYYY

[falandosozin]

redberryterf and others like her aren't real feminists idk what's not clicking. being a feminist isn't just Hating Men you have to want women to be safer you have to want a better world for women EVERYWHERE. this goes directly against feminism. i dont get what's not clicking about this

[anti-terf-posts]

@/redberryterf is a deeply racist transphobe pls bloke her she talksabout trusting a bear over a somalian man in the bear v man thing its so disgusting

they've already been added to the blocklist, but I had no idea bout that, that's fucking disgusting 🤢

[lesblizzard-ultradyke]

tras post deranged posts redberryterf terf and her friends posted to prove that radfems are all racists while like 80% of the same exact posts they think are proofs only exist because radblr said what the fuck is wrong with you and she started defending herself and then her friends came and started defending her too

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

dont you think it's a bit pathetic to @ mommy mena anytime someone says something racist ? without her most of these people would get between 0 and 2 notes and instead she and people like you are catapulting them into their 15min of online popularity

I'm airing these people out because I recently saw someone I follow (who I'm pretty sure isn't racist) reblog something from redberryterf. I'm assuming she missed what happened. Racists don't get to hide in the shadows. You want to be racist? You can let the whole world know or you can shut the fuck up. No in-betweens.

[vulturesbones]

I saw a post redberryterf make about prolonged T in females caused inability of screaming and in the comments on the post I saw you say that you can't scream. Is this like what I have read of detrans women who dislike having masculine screams or are you physically unable to scream?

Hi! I don’t dislike my masculine voice nor do I really consider myself/fully resonate with the label ‘detrans’. To answer your question, I can shout but I can’t scream - physically that is. I would be able to raise my voice to get attention in an emergency, but not as much as before my voice dropped. I go hoarse, or my voice makes no sound at all.

I’ve also noticed more strain when I generally talk, and I experience more hoarseness/pain after talking more than I did before I went on T. This part could be a coincidence, though. 🤷‍♂️

Hope this clarifies things!

en fait ma critique s'étend aussi aux posts que je vois parfois sur radblr qui défendent marguerite Stern comme si c'était une grande féministe radicale alors que ça fait plus d'un an qu'elle est passée à l'extrême droite après avoir insulté toutes ses anciennes alliées féministes, qu'elle passe dans des médias d'extrême droite pour dire que les hommes noirs et arabes sont plus susceptibles d'être des violeurs que les hommes blancs, pour dire que l'Église catholique quand même ça fait partie de l'histoire de la France, etc. Même chose pour Moutot qui défend la prostitution et la pornographie et a même fait la promotion d'une appli de rencontres pedocriminelles. Chaque fois que je vois des posts sur elles (bon c'est pas tous les jours mais ça arrive), elles sont toujours présentées comme des féministes alors qu'elles sont toutes les deux misogynes et d'extrême droite

Quand je vois des "radfems" comme redberryterf qui sont parfaitement d'accord avec ça je me dis que si cela se trouve beaucoup de radfems connaissent ses propos et la défendent quand-même mdrrr. Mais la vérité c'est qu'elles ne sont sans doute pas au courant. Stern a gagné une bonne réputation parmi les féministes radicales internationales, alors qu'il faut être française et suivre les médias français pour savoir qu'elle est passée à l'extrême droite (malheureusement).

Par contre Moutot a fait QUOI ? Ça j'étais pas au courant !

Redberryterf: interesting you would rather live in a country that is further developed and more stable than in the country the former country helped to impoverish and destabilize to further the its own said development

RIGHT? how stupid is it to compare one of the richest regions in the entire world to one of the poorest & then think u said sth brilliant
