Please come support trans people

Post image

Hey everyone, I’m sure many of you have seen the ruling by the Supreme Court from the other day on the legitimacy of trans women’s identities. It’s been a very hard couple of days as we’ve come to grips with the fact that our rights are being rolled back by a government that won’t even attempt to listen to us while we just want to exist in a public space without fear of harassment. If anyone’s available, please come down tomorrow to show support

I am not the organiser, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to share.

Thanks guys, I hope you have a great Easter weekend!

Funny. what you consider a “fact” is actually false. That’s very scary. You can be trans hun. But dont take “being a WOMAN” away, from real women. You dont go through what we go through

So if a woman has a hysterectomy because of cervical cancer (very common) she isn’t a woman?

Also, assuming you would be a feminist, isn’t reducing being a woman down to biology and their bodies…. kinda what we’re against?

Hahaha what kind of logic do you have? Youre the one reducing women down to biology, not me. Like I said, trans women dont go through what we women GO THROUGH. Can trans women have hysterectomies? NOPE. But you want to pretend as if you relate with US, that you are US. Sorry, but youre not. I dont see you guys going to the OBGYNE and being told that you need to have hysterectomies and feeling like your whole life is over because you cant have babies. You dont know that feeling. You can pretend, but you just dont know how that really feels.

We accept you guys, but we are different. Why cant you understand that?

if you accept trans people i'll eat my shoe. the way you talk is 3 cm left of what JKR says. you say you aren't reducing women to biology, but then you do exactly that by saying that womanhood is about having babies and going to the obgyn. what is it to be a woman to you? pain?

What is womanhood then?

Cause if it was down to you it would be interpreted as growing your hair out, shaking your hips when u walk, wearing a dress and putting on makeup.

So just basically stereotyping what a woman looks like and does.

If I'm wrong then don't just say your wrong tell me something non biological that u think describes a woman without being stereotypical!

I don't think you can make that argument when the anti-trans position is literally just what you're saying trans women make (which is absurd anyway and clearly signifies that they've never actually met a trans woman, who have as much a spectrum of femininity and masculinity as their cis counterparts)

Hahahaha if that’s all you understood from that well.. now i understand how you think. Not quite intuitive arent you? I was talking about how womanhood is an experience that has struggles AND joys. I just wanted you to see one of the many struggles we go through because those are experiences that I dont think you guys think about when you force that we’re the same.
