I’m not sure I understand what the transphobe is saying (I don’t want to call these people radical feminists, they’re not).

Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes

My problem is with associating it with feminism, it's offensive to me and factually inaccurate. TERF talking points are usually gender essentializing in a way that is contrary with radical feminist viewpoints, for example, and lots of TERFs now distance themselves from feminism intentionally as they coalition with the right-wing. "Gender critical feminism" is not feminism at all, and better characterized as fundamentally anti-trans rather than fundamentally feminist.

I completely agree, that;s why I like to call them FARTs. And it fits - they are radically transphobic and they do appropriate feminism despite not being feminist
