@EgyptianAphorist Adrienne Rich picks up on that poem here:

poetryfoundation.org/poems/510

And I wrote about the Rich poem here:

andrewjshields.blogspot.com/20

(The poem gets taught a lot, I think, so students looking for help on it have made that into my most popular blog post ever at a over 11,000 hits. That’s not enough to call it viral, of course, but it’s something!)

I don't think it's going too far to simply state that Adrienne Rich helped Janice Raymond to write The Transsexual Empire, and that everyone reading Rich's work should read it through that lens.

The idea of "comphet" was first introduced in Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence by Adrienne Rich. Adrienne Rich wasn't just a TERF. She was directly mentioned multiple times in the TERF book, The Transsexual Empire, by her colleague Janice Raymond.
