Conversation

If you're a minority/oppressed group and people say bad things about you that aren't true, the answer is not to start saying good things about yourself that aren't true, no matter how fair this may feel; in the end it means people who actually care about truth, won't believe you.

e.g., "Trans women are just men dressed up as women" you might respond with "No, trans women are women, there's no meaningful difference." In this case both sides are not focused on truthfinding, they're focused on cultural war.

There's a ton of meaningful differences between them. 1. different genitals (relevant for medical care/procreation strategies) 2. different early childhood socialization 3. trans women suffer hatred in a different, stronger way than bio women do 4. trans women seem to be smarter

trans women are women, though. assuming your own belief is The Logical and Objective Truth and that anyone else is just deluding themselves doesn't exactly seem like the most rational way of going about things lol

At what point do you think a person can be defined as a woman? Many of these women pictured were born with androgen insensitivity syndrome, so they've presented this way their whole lives. Does identity over time make them women?
