The results of my research were... disheartening, to say the least.

In the table below for each prefix are the number of non-commercial non-pornographic sites that meet the above stated criteria, the number of known sites with said prefix known to Ahmia at the time of retrieving the service list (mid-April; I did not keep an exact date), and the percentage of non-commercial non-pornographic sites rounded to the nearest hundredth. If a prefix is missing, that means there was no available data for it.

There's no such thing as a TERF

(Before you grab your pitchforks and your OSINT tools and decide to doxx me, please understand that I am not a "radical feminist". I simply do not fit one hundred percent of the ideology's stances, including their insistence on misusing the word "individualism", and I don't like the concept of adhering my beliefs to any label. However, as my main concern is fighting for my own liberation, and I am a female... I find our interests almost always align.)

There's no such thing as a TERF- a "trans-exclusionary radical feminist"- because it's a contradictory term.

A woman is an adult human female. You may disagree, but we are talking about what radfems believe. No amount of hormone replacement therapy or mastectomies or the medical horror that is a phallophasty (seriously, who thought a skin sausage sewed to a crotch, on the highway to necrosis, would in any way resemble a healthy penis?) will change a female, trans-identifying or not, into a male. Science as it stands today cannot rewrite a female's XX chromosomes into XY, and vice versa with males. The removal of a female reproductive organ, such as the uterus, does not negate one's femaleness as the absence of a uterus has severe consequences for the female body: potential pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and bowel incontinence, early-onset dementia... Males simply do not have these problems as a result of a hysterectomy because they do not have uteri in the first place and their bodies aren't supposed to.

A transman is an adult (or will be soon), and a human (I would say "humanoid", but you and I are currently stuck in the Inside), and a female. Therefore a transman fits the radfem definition of a woman. However, a "transwoman" is not a woman because they fail the last criteria for being a woman: being female. As radical feminism is concerned with the liberation of all women, and transmen are women, therefore transmen are included in radical feminism. Either it is trans-inclusionary in this manner, or it is not for all women and thus not radical feminism.
