#which liberal feminism almost completely abandoned as it became the third wave

[poison-doll]

utterly fascinating to me to watch the idea coalesce of a contingent of 'transradfems' who are purported to be whole-hearted and uncritical adherents to second wave feminists, a group of people that as near as i can tell entirely does not exist. it's an idea that seems to be born just from the forthcoming book trans/rad/fem, which is like . . . pretty plainly a transfeminist analysis of dworkin & wittig & redstockings & mackinnon's work ? ? ? contextualizing the bioessentialist paradigms of the patriarchy ? ? ? theorizing around the disposability of trans women as another form of the way in which all women are disposable ? ? ?

like it's just kinda wild to hear the title of a book and that it recognizes second-wave feminism as having, potentially, literally anything at all to offer modern transfeminist movements and immediately deciding that there is a coherent group of trans women who are all evil man hating idiots like. we're really just reinventing transfeminazis!!
