these are signs the white boy is in distress and should be removed from the source of distress immedietely!!! white boys only say this when severely stressed
[We’re gonna ignore the big ol’ red flags in this username, um, but I will answer your question.
If you want to exclude trans women from womanhood, you have to define womanhood in a way that excludes transwomen. And that can’t be done without also excluding many cis women.
If you’re gonna say that trans women are not women, you have to figure out what makes someone a women or not. If it’s “a vagina”: lots of transwomen have those. If it’s “the ability to give birth”: lots of cis women can’t do that. If it’s “experiencing misogyny in a patriarchy”, then womanhood no long exists when you get rid of patriarchy, which is… a weird take; but also trans women experience a shit ton of misogyny.
No one is saying that the trans woman’s experience is exactly the same as the cis woman’s experience, but the cis woman’s experience isn’t the same as the cis woman’s experience either. There’s no common denominator that all of us AFAB women have that trans women don’t, except being assigned at birth.]
