As far as I know Jaiden ain't even close to that

As far as I know she's probably Lgbtq, Pro trans right, pro autism rights and all that stuff

Being a part of that community doesn't mean you're not transphobic. Considering yourself feminist doesn't mean you're not racist, sexist, or transphobic either.

There's a lot of sub communities within those two who trash on trans women in particular either for holding them back or because they consider that demographic to be "dangerous to society".

People say they're a vocal minority, but to be honest I've heard a couple of people in real life accidentally let their real thoughts slip on occasion.

Jaiden is definitely not transphobic though, if she's as good friends with Jacob as she claims (they're roommates or something), then she probably doesn't mind his new friends too much which include a lot of trans men and women. And she even met him under the same conditions as those guys did.

I’m not a feminist but I think the best way to help feminsim with the issue of those feminist that are racist, sexist or transphobic, is that people need to just call them out, mainly other feminist and feminist allies themselves to call out stuff like that, rather than telling everyone else that it’s small or doesn’t happen or worse, justify that sort of shitty behavior. People think that just because someone is a feminist, it means they can’t be hateful, otherwise they must not be a “true” feminist, however in reality even early feminist and sufferage movement were racist and would treat POC poorly, especially POC women.

I feel like with any critism of feminism, or even post like this about how men are humans, people get way too wrapped up in trying to defend feminist from any critsism and accusing everyone else of being misognstic and misinformed, mainly through true Scotsman ideals that if that feminist said something sexist, racist, or transphobic then she’s not a feminist…but then can proceed to explain that MRA movements and its memebers are mostly sexist and racist, which ok, but why not also accept that feminist themselves CAN be hateful instead of ignoring it?

Saying “they are in the minority” doesn’t get rid of those that are commonly transphobic or hateful. It doesn’t change everyone’s bad experiences with those feminist who were complete bigots to men or trans men/women or others.
