The responses in this thread ain’t it and of course it’s always the same Exhalers saying the same **** in every thread like this.  Yes, obviously, a transgender woman and a biological woman are no

She didn't speak nonsense.  What she said is literally coming from a woman that has been her whole life. I get it. Transgender people wants to be considered either man or woman if they change their pa

I mean....??? Are people really coming for this? A transgender woman isnt a woman... just as a biological woman isnt a transgender woman!! Do we really think these two are the same? These are VERY VER

How does a transgender person being able to be the gender they feel like downplay what a biological woman has to go through? This sounds a whole lot like the equivalent of when white people feel threatened when black people finally get the same rights they’ve already had. 

I think some cis women simply don't want to be labeled with terms like "menstruating people" for example, or whatever other trendy terms SJWs come up with to be more inclusive to non-binary people or trans men.

I mean what exactly is so difficult about just using the term "women" considering that like 99.9% of people who menstruate do identify as women...? :lostney_britney_what_confused_huh_who_looking_around_glory:

I’m shook threads with comments like this exist here… 

people’s identities and experiences are not an opinion nor a debate!

it’s the latent transphobia and ignorance for me

It’s not transphobia. People like you are using this word loosely. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. You may not agree but respect come first.

I feel like I can speak on this as I myself am trans. I don't entirely disagree with what she's said here. I know that I am no biological women. I know I was born a man but have gone surgeries and hormonal therapy to LIVE AS a women. I know what I was born as. I don't pretend any different.

My gender identity = female.

My s** = male. 

I'll be honest and say that I personally am completely at odds with the trans community for not sharing their views. It's really opened my eyes to how toxic the LGBT+ community is when you don't share the same views.

Thank you so much! It's so harmful to ignore biology. It breaks my heart for trans ppl just trying to live their lives. I know that activists do not speak on behalf of the majority of trans ppl

The world is crazy! 

Listen, i support transpeople, i call them she or he, whatever they represent now. 

BUT: They are in fact not 100% a woman, i mean some straight dudes might not care, but many of them don't want to date a transperson and you can't blame them for that, for their ***uality! Some people have the mindset to think it's transphobia, it's not! 

And you know what? The LGBTQ community is too much in 2022 imho. 

1000 genders, gender-language, like get over yourself! It pisses people off, even the allies.

i’ve read that some people support keeping it a secret for as long as possible. one should feel a moral obligation to disclose anything that could be a deal breaker during a relationship, otherwise you’re just holding someone hostage. if you feel that it’s best kept a secret instead of telling your significant other, then something is not right. it isn’t transphobic, wtf is wrong with some people.

I can't at people thinking transgender people just "change their parts" and therefore cannot be compared to cispeople. Literally all the science, biology and cultural histories around the globe  disagree with that, and that's before we even tip a toe into intersectionality. The experiences of a billionaire white straight cis woman, cannot be compared to that of a middle class person of colour.

Is having a ******* for birthing purposes the only definitinative feature of a woman? Does an infertile woman become less of a woman because she is infertile?

If you reduce the notion of womanhood down to genitals, you're Literally stripping women of everything except their ***uality. That is inherently problematic and s**ist.

It's not about straight men. You missed a lot of points.

JK Rowlin’s comment was beyond unnecessary. She deserves what she gets.

Edited after reading this thread: WHY DO PEOPLE CARE? WHY DOES MACY GRAY AND ANYONE ELSE CARE THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO BE CONSIDERED A WOMAN? HOW IS THAT AFFECTING YOUR LIFE IN ANY WAY? Let people effing live omg they are not bothering you / end rant
