As a white feminist activist, Alison Phipps reflects on the various forms of exclusion and domination that the (white) feminist movement created and continues to create in its struggles to achieve gender justice. In Chapter 6, Phipps exposes the alliances between far-right conservative groups and reactionary feminist campaigns that support I trans i -exclusionary politics and oppose the sex industry.
