Person A: we need lesbian separatist communes that aren’t TERFy.
Person B, a TERF with “womb” in her username: “Good luck with that.”
I think B is right about this one. The concept of separatism doesn’t really work unless you have a binary worldview where everyone can be classified as “okay to interact with” and “not okay to interact with.” If there’s someone who, say, identifies as a man sometimes and a woman other times, I don’t think you can maintain a separatist mindset unless you either go “I will never interact with this person” or “this person is a confused woman who only thinks she’s a man.”
