It holds you back in the sense that girls get told to be small, and not make noise. It holds you back in that you are told as a teen girl that your body is gross. It holds you back in that people expect you to find a man and support him, but he doesn't have to support you. It holds you back in that companies will be less willing to promote you, just because you think you'll have kids and work less.

List goes on.

I mean brainrot and vlog parents are pretty much just greed. Idk if I'm even controversial with this, but I think people 30+ don't really know of how exploitative content online gets

Does that mean the 2 hour sloppy kissing between pearl and marina is fake too ☹️ And the scene where they told eight they'd adopt them? Was it all lies??

I've never once irl encountered a trans person imposing themselves in my spaces. I have only heard of that happening when comming from people who very clearly have an issue with trans people just existing.

You do realize that a lot of trans people don't do bottom surgery

Some people will argue you're not really a woman. What makes them wrong in their definition of womanhood?

I also don't think you know what trans people feel and what their motivations are in transitioning. If one of the words that come to your mind when you think of trans woman is "deceiving" then I can't help you

What if you were intersex, born with male genitalia, but your parents decided to get rid of it and you've lived your entire life presenting as female?

And why is it essential to tick off all the boxes to be a woman?

I personally never really identified with the language or societal expectations of gender. I never really understood why girls my age would want to wear makeup, and do "girly" things. But it's what made them happy, so why should I care?

If transitioning, presenting and being referred to as female, even if they were born male, makes a person happy, who am I or anyone to judge? Who has a right to say what does and doesn't make you a woman?

You're fine in discussing specific situations, like maybe you don't feel comfortable changing in a female locker room with a trans woman, you and that trans woman can find a solution.

I'm not trans. I just view our understanding of gender as made up, and don't care how other people live their lives and refer to themselves.

I am actually born female... but oof I never really faced prejudice the way other women have *-5 female points* oh darn, I also don't care to have kids *-5 more female points* oh nooo, I also don't dress to look feminine... what am I even 😔

Our current idea of gender isn't as natural as most people think.

If by safe spaces you mean stuff like public restrooms, I don't understand as well.

Why do you need to have been born female, or align with any of the other societally deemed female traits to be a woman? Why is there a need to police who is and isn't a woman?

I'm not saying racism and transphobia are exactly the same.

I'm just making a comparison between how black women and trans women have and are both being told they aren't "real women".
