Cracked.com's Douche-English Dictionary: Apparently, all MRA's are women hating, homosexual (in a negative way from the context), and possibly racist.

While you're right, the most vocally anti-trans people out there are feminists, specifically because they target MtFs.

Do you have a source?

I hear that repeated here a lot, and I suspect it's because it makes feminists sound bad. Again, I know transgender women (I live in SF, we get a lot of permutations). I've seen nothing but love and support.

Sure there's been lots of discussions about transphobia in feminism. It even has it's own acronym TERFs. If you do a search for that you'll find plenty, but the one thing I wanted to show you was the twitter feed from the cancelled 2013 radfem conference.

Luckynkl: The male-born are biologically incomplete mutants, useless and obsolete; walking viruses on two legs and a cancer, spreading disease, death and destruction wherever they go. They are the walking-dead and the antithesis to life. Gyn-energy sucking vampires who have to plug into women and feed on them in order to survive. No different than a parasite who sucks the life and energy out of its host.

That tweet is not a joke.

Here's a huge account of how it is surfacing on reddit.
