I'm not sure I understand what the transphobe is saying (I don't want to call these people radical feminists, they're not).
She sees an exchange where two people talk about exchanging nudes, and she assumes they were both trans women, so she thinks she's exposing them as men because they aren't acting like women (who would never share nude photos of themselves)?
It's honestly confusing to me (lots of cis women share nude photos, though not usually to their friends AFAIK).
Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes
My problem is with associating it with feminism, it's offensive to me and factually inaccurate. TERF talking points are usually gender essentializing in a way that is contrary with radical feminist viewpoints, for example, and lots of TERFs now distance themselves from feminism intentionally as they coalition with the right-wing. "Gender critical feminism" is not feminism at all, and better characterized as fundamentally anti-trans rather than fundamentally feminist.
I completely agree, that;s why I like to call them FARTs. And it fits - they are radically transphobic and they do appropriate feminism despite not being feminist
