DA - Anon who said see below:


kindly define what it's supposed to mean when a trans person asserts that they "are" a woman

Ok so. We live in a society, yeah? that is built around this idea that sex determines gender determines roles in society. But as we learn more and more about the human body, we have decoupled sex from gender from roles in society. But there are some people who like specific genders and/or roles in society and would like to live their life mostly in that arena. That is what it is to assert that you "are" a woman.

Take me for example. I am AFAB. I'll say I'm a woman, but I don't perform the role in society and don't give a shit about the gender. I could take it or leave it, but the way society is set up, it's just easier to say I'm a woman and leave it at that. But for someone who is AFAB and LOVES the more masculine gender expression and/or loves the masculine role in society, they will defy the society expectations that I can't be bothered to move away from so that they can be happy with expressing themselves. This is what's known as "being a man".

So that is how we can get to a place where you will have someone who looks like a man, acts like a man, performs the role of a man in society, if you saw them on the street you would think them a man - and they have a uterus.

I find it ludicrous that you're equating "not being DEFINED by ability to have kids" with "therefore, we ought to ignore the fact that some people can wind up pregnant against their will and others can't."

Where the FUCK did that come from? No one has mentioned anything about forced birth. Seriously, that hasn't been part of the convo at all until now. Are you okay? blink twice if you need rescue.

there is also no trait that defines only and exclusively humans or black people or any other category. That doesn't make them meaningless or terrible.

No one has said that either. But your attempts to exclude icky trans people ALSO exclude some women you purport to be defending, which exposes you not as pro-woman or feminist, but anti-trans. Us feminists can see you doing that, and we can see that as soon as we share some trait with someone you don't like, you will absolutely throw us under the bus with them. Feminism is not about trying to protect people who have uteruses, can get pregnant (willingly or not), have breasts, or whatever other gender essentialism you want to define it as. It's a SOCIAL issue, not a biological one. So attempting to define womanhood along biological lines will never be a feminist act.
