jfc Graham you're really shitting the bed on this

yes, I'm extremely unfashionable sometimes.

we're not being erased. We're right there. Trans women are women.

I find it odd that there's a spot for cis men, but not cis women. Bit weird.

yep would prob prefer to have seen a cis woman rather than cis man there too, but women still def not being erased.

I get it's probably not very sensitive to call cis-women "women" as if they're the only kind but don't you understand the intent?

Well following the RTs logic if a trans woman is not a woman than logically a trans man must be a woman.

So erasure of women as an argument falls down there. Unless the position is trans-women aren't women but trans men are men.

I think part of the problem is that none of the people who might identify as female do so (on this cover at least)

Except there are two people on that cover who identify as female.

you're right, sorry; misread as "transgender-female". They still could have included a cis female though.

I presume you're not saying that the existence of trans gender women erases women somehow.
