You see, that assertion isn't based in reality. You have openly misogynist men on this forum, who because they also hate trans people, they're seen as caring about women, which doesn't make sense to me.
Caring about women (and everyone in society also), is not about pandering to every whim, or playing on the real and necessary fears women have always needed to stay alert to.
I've read feminist academia and it isn't as myopic as only women understand women, only black people understand racism. The literature opines that any system that oppresses any group, oppresses all, so you even have feminism needing to protect men (which blew my mind when I first understood it), because of the understanding that patriarchy is detrimental to men, and everyone who lives under it, not just women, so this to attempt to limit feminism to just be a shield to hide bigotry behind, does a complete disservice to the feminist movement as a whole.
It seems that though this anti-trans stuff (in general, not talking about you), seems to want to completely narrow down and limit what women are, and what they should want and feel, when the goals of feminism are way loftier.
