    The 4B movement does have some issues with transphobia from what I’ve heard, so hopefully with more people joining, it’ll make it better.

      I’m not aware of the history of this movement. Could you please provide some context? I want to push against reactionary undertones I might come across

        4B on Wikipedia

        First line describes it as gender critical… Then if you scroll down under the beliefs section is a section titled “Opposition to transgender rights movements”

        I’m really hoping the American version of 4B stays far away from that.

          Well that sucks, I somehow missed that, hopefully the fact that the women participating in the American version of 4B will likely be more left-leaning helps keeping the movement away from that hate

      As someone above mentioned, that line was added after october 30, so it’s questionable how true this is.

      And America doesn’t have to adopt any transphobic parts of the movement anyway.
