I know these people are just TERF's, but I always assumed actual gender abolitionists were good. Until I saw the dysphoria megadoc/website and they mentioned gender abolitionists as being anti-trans as well, and now I'm confused
Dworkin-style abolitionists are good (well, she was a bit SWERFy which is cringe, though again not as much as some think). The TERFs have spent a lot of energy trying to co-opt people like her and LeGuin in from their graves even though they both were beating down proto-TERF rhetoric hardcore as early as the 1970s.
Sometimes I'm still confused because Dworkin is popular, like you've said here is generally good, but when I mention the problems with sex (which she's talked about) everyone here just :jesse-wtf:
