@realcaseyrollins I am not sure "radical Feminist" is a specific enough description for a TERF. Radical feminism invokes entirely different notions IMO.

@freemo @realcaseyrollins radical feminism is "terfism" by definition. It is the therm "terf" that it is often mistaken with "radical feminist", when even an incel dude can be called a "terf" just because he doesn't believe transwomen are actually women

@RikaDerufu @freemo Interesting. I’d assumed that radical feminists are what adherents to transgender ideology call TERFs anyways cuz that’s what they call themselves.

@realcaseyrollins

No there are lots of radical feminists who are anti-TERF. In fact I'd say traditional feminists tend to lean more towards being radical than not in general.

@RikaDerufu

@freemo @RikaDerufu Traditional feminists as far as what? There are so many waves man, the only ones I follow are third wave and “TERFism”

@realcaseyrollins

By that I mean, most people who describe themselves as feminist tend to have radical views. So more often than not tend to be radical feminists in my experience.

@RikaDerufu

@freemo @realcaseyrollins radical feminism = against transgenderism and sex work, really critical on porn, objectification of women's body in media and self objectification, critical of beauty standards, critical of some type of extreme kinks etc
Liberal feminism = woman like to do thing so thing is good, dick havers with woman id can manipulate lesbians vagina havers into sex bc they are oppressed by them

No radical feminism is any form of feminism that is contrary to the mainstream form. What you just described is only one manifestation of radicalized feminism. It is not the definition of it.

Here is the normally accepted definition of radical feminism... As you can see it is far more generalized than you suggest:
