As for the radical-feminists-versus-transsexuals thing—there seems to be a fair amount of tension between the gender/sexuality theories of different parts of the queer and feminist movements, which are generally glossed over in favor of cooperation due to common goals. Which, actually, is somewhat heartening.
Yep, I’d guess that matters a great deal. (IIRC certain radical feminists dislike male-to-female transsexuals for that reason.)
That’s the explanation I’d lean towards myself.
