this is a youtube comment I made on the subject where I lay out nearly verbatim the same argument Denims’ would make on her stream. maybe you will read this in good faith instead of insisting on taking everything I say in bad faith.

“Transphobia and homophobia in the South Korean movement
See also: Womad (website) and Trans-exclusionary radical feminism by country § South Korea
Feminism, especially radical feminism, in South Korea has had a notable transphobic and homophobic (against male homosexuals) issue, with internal disputes about the acceptability of such beliefs. (11][39][40][41][42) The 4B movement was significantly popular on (and widely publicly associated with) the South Korean website WOMAD, which is considered to be misandrist, homophobic, and transphobic. The website was founded because Megalia had begun prohibiting homophobic and transphobic slurs. (19)
[29](41) WOMAD members reportedly advocated for revenge against men, advocated for disliked people to commit suicide, and some threatened violence and committed crimes against men. Mothers were labeled both victims and conformers to patriarchal society that discriminate against their daughters. Many WOMAD members compared married women to slaves. (43) One trans person interviewed in South Korea argued that, while most South Korean women were not transphobic, the strongest advocates for 4B in South Korea were on and radicalized by WOMAD. (13]
Some members of the 4B movement have reportedly advocated for the use of ID scanners to verify sex before entering public restrooms, and for more sex segregation at protests. 30) Various communities involved in the 4B movement reportedly asked that members take photos so that others could verify their biological sex; one such group asked for videos of people's Adam's apples. (12)
Some South Korean queer and trans feminists reportedly expressed concern that the 2024 international interest in the 4B movement could lead to an increase in anti-trans rhetoric and a resurgence of the 4B movement in South Korea.
