Comnunistcuddlefish did not compare your arguments to terfs, don't put words in people's mouths. You made me re-read her reply like three times to make sure.
I think you come off ass pretty dismissive about everything she said, honestly.

I could tell that the "serious in your delineations" portion is what you were referring to, but I don't agree. I think her point is more about essentialist thinking, and I don't think it's a fair interpretation to construe her as comparing you to a terf.
I think it amply demonstrates that the constant rah-rah beating of the totally uncritical "kill all men" drum tends to result in things like that, which is why it's not a good line of thought generally.
SerialExperimentsGay, if I was told by a POC user that my kill-all-men feminism isn't that cool because it's a line of thought that doesn't consider at all how men who aren't white factor into it, I hope I'd be nicer than this. I see in the segment you quoted:
and that gels pretty well with the points raised about the complicity of white women in imperialism, in "kill all men" and its failure to consider men of colour.
When you say CommunistCuddlefish is accusing you of being unsafe, it does make me recall the conversation we had about who qualifies as "safe" people. When we spoke, I pointed out that trans people aren't automatically any less likely to hold racist prejudices, and so it's tough to say that anyone is "safe" really. I also don't really think CommunistCuddlefish is calling you abusive, really, and I thought her reply was pretty level.
I did, I know people talk in the EMPOC mega and such, not news to me. I don't think it's bad for poc users to complain to eachother if they have a problem with someone, (white especially) surely the EMPOC mega is a venting space too? It's not like trans users don't talk to eachother in the trans mega about misogyny and transphobia on the bearsite too, so it seems pretty fair to me.

That's just not what she said:
This is not CommunistCuddlefish saying "this is you", not even close. I don't see where you read "i have a hunch you would count some trans women as actually men" into what she said, and I think that's pretty far from assuming good faith in her, which is a rule on this website.
If you mean this instead:
I don't see where you read it into that either. Had to reread the entire reply again.
This also isn't the first time you've ignored the vast majority of what I said, (not to mention sidestepping a lot of what CommunistCuddlefish said) which is unfortunate. This is a really bad response to someone who expressed pretty reasonable grievances in a pretty mild tone, even if you don't agree with her.
