Are you (or would people describe you as) a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) or SWERF (sex worker exclusionary radical feminist)? (I know some TERFs and SWERFs consider the terms derogatory. If there's a more neutral term to use pls lemme know)

I want people to be able to fashion their identities to match how they "feel". This often feels at odds with how I feel body autonomy should have primacy, because identity resides in those around us. Who am I to insist that you think of me a certain way? This remains unresolved.

The idea of changing your body to match how you feel and the idea of your identity residing in those around you seem completely compatible to me. If changing yourself results in changes in the way people see you, that's fine and matches stuff like 'growing up' or wahtever

For me, personally, I've been able to resolve every specific conflict I've been presented with re this issue except for sports, where I think people are confused about why we have a women's league. But as a man, trans-women don't "threaten" my spaces at all.
