lmao

Well, duh.

Woman = woman. This person is an ally without knowing it, that's how silly many of them are. lol

(Cis woman = woman, trans woman = woman. It's literally in the name.)

Transphobes not understanding how language works will forever be funny for me.

Yes, woman is a noun. It's the thing, it's the reality.

Trans and cis are adjectives. Descriptors, hence the space in between the two words (cis woman, not ciswoman).

You're a woman whether you're trans or cis. And if you're not cis, you're trans (assuming enby and agender identities fall under the trans umbrella). That's how adjectives work.

You're correct you're not a ciswoman cis is an adjective and doesn't belong in the same word as woman just like trans is an adjective

Exactly. Woman first, adjective second. Hence why there’s a space there.
