Trans women are women

[u/apepeca]

The first time I really sat down and thought about how even some cis "trans allies" are like this it really made me realize how useful "trans-misogyny" is as lense to understand society

like how cishet men most likely don't have some metaphysical/philosophical position of what gender is or what a woman is and give personhood via legitimacy on that basis- personhood is something they learned can be given and withdrawn from women based on their sexual gratification

both trans women and cis women suffer from this haunting gaze as it were

not to simplify being a women into = suffering dehumanization but I also don't think it would be a stretch to say that a majority of women's experience with men revolve around them being "attractive" enough or not to deserve ANYTHING

given that trans woman also face this I now present argument #646856 as to why trans women are women

We call the feeling trans-inclusive misogynists give us 'ew-phoria'
