There is also 4w! They are looking for radfem and gender critical content, and more generally content which highlights women’s voices. I’ve been thinking of contacting them as a guest writer myself. I think what they’re doing is great!

The aggressive transaktivists seem to serve patriarchal ideology, now by silencing feminists and thus ultimately all women's hard gained rights, by bashing homosexuals and being parasites on their hard gained human rights and by bringing the public to believe, that this way of political activism is 'leftist' and bundled up with feminism and gay rights. When everything eventually gets totally absurd, patriarchal ideologies will offer the 'natural order', that there is only two sexes, 'man' and 'woman', that being biological sex and no gender diversity. Most digital transactivists could be trolls - Russia and Poland are already promoting 'family values' which includes female subordination and bashing of homosexuals - and the protesters IRL are mostly 'woke' students or males, who often seem to have some personal issues about claiming feeling female that they let out as anger and hatred and a feeling of a right to bully others and be in control of the space... The Vatican has promoted the idea, that feminists destroy the family by choosing their own life and pawing the way for 'same sex marriages' (and WHO actually choose a career and life with no family, being only with their own sexual kind?) "In order to avoid the domination of one sex or the other, their differences tend to be denied, viewed as mere effects of historical and cultural conditioning. In this perspective, physical difference, termed sex, is minimized, while the purely cultural element, termed gender, is emphasized to the maximum and held to be primary. The obscuring of the difference or duality of the sexes has enormous consequences on a variety of levels. This theory of the human person, intended to promote prospects for equality of women through liberation from biological determinism, has in reality inspired ideologies which, for example, call into question the family, in its natural two-parent structure of mother and father, and make homosexuality and heterosexuality virtually equivalent, in a new model of polymorphous sexuality.

3. While the immediate roots of this second tendency are found in the context of reflection on women's roles, its deeper motivation must be sought in the human attempt to be freed from one's biological conditioning.2 According to this perspective, human nature in itself does not possess characteristics in an absolute manner: all persons can and ought to constitute themselves as they like, since they are free from every predetermination linked to their essential constitution.

This perspective has many consequences. Above all it strengthens the idea that the liberation of women entails criticism of Sacred Scripture, which would be seen as handing on a patriarchal conception of God nourished by an essentially male-dominated culture. Second, this tendency would consider as lacking in importance and relevance the fact that the Son of God assumed human nature in its male form." http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20040731_collaboration_en.html
