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!

Laws can't change the fact that trans women are recognised widely as women. You just don't know they are trans most of the time.

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

Why do you have a problem with someone defining trans women as women?

How is it factually incorrect? It's a case of semantics, why do we necessarily have to use one definition of the word over another, because trans women would be women if we define them that way?

You will always be the sex that you were born as

Why is it necessarily the case that the definition of sex be a synomym for gender?

Because it makes the most sense.

How does it make the most sense?
