Thoughts: 1. I'm *extremely* impressed. She knows what's going to happen to her for posting it and is doing it anyway. That plus the compassion and nuance makes me an instant fan. 2. I wish she'd put a little more word count into steelmanning the radical trans position. 1/

I'm impressed by her saying something she believes in when she knows it will get her torn down. I don't fully agree with it (I'm not very feminist myself, and she's closer to radical feminism) but I'm impressed whenever I see anybody in her position do something like that.

I think I see trans women's issues as closer categorized to trans issues than women's issues, mainly cause a lot of women's issues seem to be associated at their core with reproduction.

Maybe we're using words differently here. What do you define as a woman?

Okay, what does 'woman' mean in this case? As in - if a tree is anyone who says they are a tree, then it's still important to know what 'tree' means.

No I am just using tree as an example of the definition; as in, you could define tree by saying 'has leaves, a trunk, grows under sunshine, etc.' I'm just asking - what is a woman? If someone identifies as a woman - what does the 'woman' part mean?
