obviously this isnt targeted at anybody here, but ive noticed in european progressive liberal and leftist spaces there is more frequent terf-ish sentiment. why is it that in those spaces in america, it seems like transphobia is frowned upon more?

am i imagining this? is it really just the uk and spain?

    the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival was a "feminist" music festival that had a "womyn-born womyn" only policy which didn't allow any transwoman musicians to perform OR any transwomen to even attend the festival or work there. it ran from the 1970s-2015, so there's a history of TERFs in US feminism
