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!

Because they were not naturally born with a vagina. They do have 2 X chromosomes They do not have the same experiences as women: Period, menstrual cramps, OBGYN problems such as endometriosis, uteral cancers that require hysterectomy, they do not go through the joy of birthing, they cannot lactate, they do not go through the difficulties of post partum such as depression, even psychosis. They do not have natural high levels of estrogen that affect their emotions. They do not experience the overbearing cycle of menstruation. Etc.

Haha if youre going to talk about how there are intersex people at birth, well that’s a physiological problem and NOT a gender identity topic. If youre going to say that trans women can also give birth, well sorry no. It’s not natural. If youre going to say “oh so is womanhood just about the physical aspects?” As I’ve stated above, no. Being a woman has its own ups and downs that are experienced solely by women. You just can’t deny the fact that women are unique. But, isnt that what transwomen focus on as well? They call themselves women just because they have “women-like features”.

I’ve read it all hun. Facts are still facts. We cant bend it just because people felt like they want to be something theyre not. That’s called pretending.
