#GaolNaofa is a TERF RadFem group, thankfully GN is more or less dead & has been for years.

However, their former leader Thomas James on Twitter is a Fascist MAGA these days, the least they can do is update this page and finally completely distance themselves from him instead of making themselves look worse.
