8. All the RadFem blogs I've read say the same thing.

They think trans women are stealth straight guys who have decided to put on "womanface" (which they distastefully associate with blackface, as fucking if) in a super-secret MRA conspiracy to penetrate women with their penis. That's it. That's the whole theory. This "cotton ceiling" red herring was filled with straw by people looking for something to fit their already persecuted world view.

Sorry, I can't ally with female supremacists. Trans women are some of the most persecuted women around and cis women should spread their protection over them. When rad fems come out of the hills and realize that we're not all part of the Great Penis Conspiracy, then we can talk.

If there is some RadFem blog or sector that I have overlooked who disavows this *transphobic* and reactionary "theory", I apologize. But all of the main movers and shakers seem to echo this ugly and bizarre narrative. Not my people.
