exactly this - identifying as trans to challenge the gender binary is very similar to identifying as a lesbian to challenge patriarchy - it's all well and good but that term was already in use by the women who wanted to fuck other women and you're kind of killing the vibe
@nonagesimus99 a trans woman saying "i hate theyfabs" carries the same social stigma for the unwoke masses as a man saying "i hate women" when in reality it has the same directionality as a woman saying "i hate men"
its astonishing how many TMEs simply assume they know what trans women and their lives were like before transition based on their interactions with cis men
“being trans” being popularly understood as a medical condition, which is liable to cause dysphoria if not treated with hormonal medication and reconstructive surgery, is in the best interests of people who are trans
This may be controversial but here we go. It does not, will not, ever, help the trans community, for these choose your own adventure NB Queers to play inverted no definition bullshit. Women are a social class based on the female sex, the average woman does not have a beard and is biologically not supposed to (we are not talking special cases). These people exist in every subculture, people who want to be so open minded their brain falls out and definitions cease to categorize the group as anything other than a meaningless label. Maybe your gender expression includes male and female sex characteristics, fine, you're non-binary, but to clutch your pearls and act like the average person is ever going to accept your ultra-abstract postmodern definitions beyond deep academia is beyond privileged. No trans woman in their right mind wants a beard and I wish these people would sit down, shut up, and listen to what we say about ourselves.
