I stopped reading after the first couple of lines. Fem! policed! Couldn't be myself!
Yeah Laverne doesn't know the difference between being fem and being a woman and the automatic disadvantage they have in society.
Laverne is coming off as most of the self centered white gays who think they are some endangered species.

the privileges of being male and the backlash of being trans are two separate issues.

She has said nothing wrong. She chose only to address one and not the other.
As she should. She's a woman.

BAPHOMET.

Laverne speaking about being policed about her gender expression makes Chimanda's point. That's something so many queer men experience, it's not something exclusive to transwomen.

This is a shit show.

She said nothing wrong at all

In fact I'm surprised she didn't say anything craze

But she's 100% right tho
Trans women are trans women
Women are women
And trans women have benefited from the perks of being a man most of their life
Sorry

She's right
