it really is a sign of victory of Liberalism that so many people that call themselves transgender feminists are willing to not only go to bat for someone who regularly cites Dworkin, Greer, and Rich (as well as Federici without caveats), and further that other transgender feminists are desperately trying to fit themselves into the framework of Radical Feminism, a framework that has, at material level, only proven to be effective at removing transgender women from feminist spaces. This is especially disappointing from so-called "Marxists," as if Engels leaned on radical feminism in 1884, or if Cuba's incredible family code in 2022 that still proves to be the most liberatory material leaps and bounds for transgender women is built atop radical feminism and not Cuba's way of organizing and democratizing society whose foundations are based on Marx and Engels' writings.
This incredible anemia of theory is allowed to pass because people who should know better also do not engage with feminism OR marxism in a serious manner! No one can imagine a future where things get better materially! Instead, they're spinning their wheels clinging to a framework of exclusion rooted in Liberal politics birthed in the heart of the Capitalist world that was born shuddering and screaming at the sight of women like me, and crucially, them as well!
