Is radfem intrinsically trans-exclusionary?

Yeah I was just about to post this.

I'd also like to know about whether gender critical rad fems (as defined by this online community) are necessarily trans exclusive (of TIM) and what that means. For myself, I see gender as an entirely social construction as a result of centuries of women as a sex class- from that we get gender roles. But that doesn't mean the existence of gender roles isn't real to people, just that they are not inherently real. So the horrifying thing about TRAs is the insistence that there is some inherent reality to masculinity and feminity that is separate from sex. That's a prison. Gender is a prison, for everyone as individuals, though it serves men as a class. And they are building this prison around women.

That doesn't mean that I'm necessarily opposed to the inclusion of TIMs (though I'm not necessarily ok with it either, especially when it comes to self-id and the cotton ceiling and all that). So I don't mind using preferred pronouns or whatever.
