93. From Leftist Journalism to Terfdom & Fighting Baby Formula Corporations │ Natasha Vargas
Natasha Vargas was a journalist, union organizer and classic leftist when she took on the topic of gender ideology. A beat reporter for Out, Jezebel, Vice (among many other leftist publications) she even sympathetically covered the entree of Fallon Fox into women’s MMA (he is the trans-identified male who would later become known for splitting lesbian fighter Tamikka Brents’ skull open). Through her journalism on this topic, as well as following what was happening in women-only colleges, she came to have a critical view of gender, but she hardly planned to make “TERF” content her main focus. After publishing in the American Conservative in 2017, she was canceled and fired from her dream job, as vitriolic lies spread about her online.
It wasn’t until she became a mother in 2021 that she truly peaked in her understanding of the differences between men and women. She is now “in devotion to the dyad,” organizing to protect physiological birth and breastfeeding and organizing against corporations that profit off the separation of mother and baby. Natasha is the founder of the Radical Moms Union, which stands for three things: biological norms over cultural demands, attachment over independence, and the mother-baby dyad. Despite these super pointed core values, her organization still manages to have a very diverse membership and leadership. Natasha’s message is an echo of second-wave feminism that’s the perfect combination of militant and matrifocal.
