WoLF

Women's Liberation Front, a group who claim to be, "a radical feminist organization dedicated to the total liberation of women". In actual fact they're a transphobic hate group with links to the Religious Right.
They have treated detransitioned women I know personally very shabbily. Not a big fan of WoLF for that reason alone.
