no shade, but I wonder how biological women feel about being damn near forced into acknowledging trans women as equals and letting them into their spaces.
Honestly, there are much worse things. I couldn't imagine fuming or even being annoyed at this
They have bigger battles to fight IMO
It just seems kind of intrusive at times. Anyone can waltz in and claim space at the table with women, have their voice heard above everyone else's and demand that their need be embraced at the expense of biological women be met all because they "identify as a woman". And if anyone dares to question anything about it, they're hit with the transphobe label.
I'm not here for it, king

There's so much to being a biological woman that transwomen don't experience - having a period, having to carry children, etc. So for that, my heart does go out to biological women who feel as if others may not have earned the right to call themselves a woman.
But, I also feel that if a lot of transwomen could suddenly get a period (as inconvenient as it is), be able to bear children (as painful as it is), etc. they would gladly take all of that.
I only really question things sometimes when I see a transwomen who still has her male parts intact. To me, it's like - how seriously do you take the transition? It's a slap in the face because ultimately if you keep your dick in place, at any time that you feel you don't want to be a woman anymore you can remove the lipstick and start living as a man again.
That's the only time I really side eye just a bit. But I try not to jump to conclusions.
Yeah, I don't think it's fair to tell cis women that they have no ownership over womenhood and who gets to be acknowledged as such, but then I think of all the women who can't conceive or give birth to a child and the idea that trans women should be separated from fish seems kind of archaic and bigoted.
As far as the gorls keeping their dicks, a lot of trans women are involved in sex work and their genitalia is pretty much their livelihood and only means of survival, but it does seem kind of off to want someone to call you female pronouns with some hairy balls tucked away underneath your victoria's secret panties.
I'm just...confused
