I'd say this is more ableist than it is transphobic, as a matter of fact best way to describe the author's stance towards everything (or at least how I perceived it) is this strange obsession of the “natural” state of the body: the ability to procreate, and the ultimate goal for any “good feminist” (p. 42) would be reappropriating the body from the capitalistic exploits... I don't know, I guess I agree with some of the takes but overall this feels somewhat incoherent.
And now that I think about it I think I know where the terf accusations are coming from - the idea that the idea of putting an equal sign between womanhood and being able to procreate... good feminist you say?
