From the outside it might often look like the postmodern regressive leftist "intersectional" feminist ideology is a cohesive monolithic group where everybody thinks the same (or, rather, has been indoctrinated into thinking the same), acts the same, and always supports each other, no matter what it is.
In reality that's not always true. Schisms and disagreements can and do happen within the ideology, when two contradictory sentiments arise, which affect some of the people in the group. (Sometimes the regressive left does eat itself.)
One of the core tenets of modern feminism (or, should I say, postmodern feminism) has become that your gender is whatever you say it is, no questions asked, no ifs, buts or maybes. For example, if you are physically a male, but you claim to be a woman, then you are a woman. Period. No buts. And everybody should respect and accept your claim 100%, without question. (Any doubt or questioning of this is violence, harassment, gaslighting, denying her lived experience, and making the person unsafe!)
Note that nothing else, at all, is required for this. No behavioral changes, no appearance changes, no medical procedures. Nothing. You could look like a man, behave like a man, and in all possible ways be the epitome of sheer and utter masculinity, but if you merely claim to be a woman, then you are a woman, period. Your word is absolute gospel and law, and nobody has the right to question it. Anybody who questions it is a monster. I wish I were exaggerating or making this up.
So, what happens if such a manly and masculine man is less than scrupulous, and wants to have sex with lesbian women that he finds hot, and in order to help this prospect he claims to be a "woman"? What happens if these lesbians say that no, they don't want to have sex with somebody who is clearly a man? They don't find him attractive, and may even find him repulsive.
Uh oh... now we have a problem. These lesbian women are going against the doctrine. They are rejecting these "women" as prospective sex partners outright. Clearly they are bigoted, prejudiced and, worst of all, transphobic! (According to intersectional feminist doctrine, "transphobia" is one of the biggest sins, alongside "racism" and "misogyny", the Unholy Trinity.)
This is not just a joke, or a hypothetical. It's actually happening. There are feminist lesbians out there that are in a schism with the rest of intersectional feminists because of exactly this. The latter are rejecting and attacking the former for being "transphobic".
