And, fwiw. I sympathise with @brokenbetty 's reluctance to voice an opinion on this. It is way too public a forum/platform for me to feel comfortable.
Thank you. I know we have different views here so I appreciate that you said that. It is scary, but I've got to the point where I can't live with myself if I smile and nod and keep my head down and let what I consider to be a reasonable and respectful alternative point of view be misrepresented as hate by people who will never know how the default male patriarchy weighs on those of us who live in a female body from the day we are born.
I don't want trans women not to exiat or even not to be women. I want to understand what that means, to know myself as a woman or not, and for society to deal fairly with female-bodied people who also exist.
And, fwiw. I sympathise with @brokenbetty 's reluctance to voice an opinion on this. It is way too public a forum/platform for me to feel comfortable. I do think this is what women - both in the public eye and not - experience every day (whether you agree with their opinions or not), and on this forum I don't think it's really appreciated.
