In retrospect, I see I had (rather intensely) internalized the transphobia of the 80s feminist scene because I desperately wanted to be a Good Feminist.
I still try to be a Good Feminist, but the definition of "Good Feminist" has changed. What we now call "White Feminism" was absolutely the norm, then. White feminists paid lip service to the concenrs of women of color, but there was always a passive-aggressive "not all white feminists" vibe.
The term "intersectionality" wasn't coined till 1989.
