I fully believe that trans women are women. I just think that to suggest that trans women experience womanhood in a more beautiful way is kind of insulting. It would be insulting if cis women said that they experienced womanhood more fully/beautifully than trans women as well.

And the fact that that person said trans womanhood is more beautiful bc cis women tend to be more afraid and talk about their fears about being a woman whereas trans women tend to talk about their newfound softness?? And that cis women’s fear of SA and talk of misogyny is “programming??” Like what are we saying?

First off what is wonanhood? You need to define that first and list things that add to it. Because I would say that getting your period is a PART of womanhood that trans women will neverrrrr have experienced. Boobs, shaving, makeup, facing misogyny through the eyes of a girl Like bro I support trans people but you can’t play in everyone’s faces like this

Play in everyone’s face, what 😭 I think womanhood is exactly how they described it? And why does that matter? Some cis women never get a period like that doesn’t make them any less women? Women experience all different kinds of things, we’re not a monolith. Like that was their point And sorry but my boobs, shaving, makeup have nothing to do with my womanhood and trans women face misogyny too

And some humans are born without an arm, but if I asked you to draw a human you would probably draw them with 2arms Just because SOME women don’t EVER get their period doesn’t take away from the fact that they are a part of womanhood. Your arguments fall because if periods, makeup, shaving, boobs, dresses, facing misogyny, skirts, hair/braiding, etc have nothing to do with womanhood, then WHAT DOES??????

My point is that many cis women don’t experience a lot of things that are considered part of womanhood bc we’re all different and not a mo monolith I said boobs, shaving and makeup have nothing to do with my womanhood not misogyny 😭 like how reductive and insulting is that. Dresses?? Anyone can wear a dress, this sounds like what a conservative thinks womanhood is. Braiding now too?? I’ve never been able to braid, what does that have to do with womanhood. So strange
