On this topic, if you feel that pregnancy is inherently a female thing, does that make infertile women less women-ly? If a woman is only seen as a woman because she can bear children, you are literally reducing people to their genitals. That’s pretty.... misogynistic of you.

But can't the burden of infertility be something that resonates uniquely with biological women? Isn't that a 'lived experience' that suggests a significant gap between natal and trans women?

Absolutely not. I know many trans people struggle with this and feel a lot of pain about it.

Not sure how to read this. Meaning trans men? Surely you don't mean trans women

Transwomen who won't be able to bear a child physically and hurt about that - as someone who has suffered secondary infertility

(was fertile but no willing partner) I can empathise.

Kinda waking a minefield here I guess, but a trans woman's pain over an event she had no real hope of ever experiencing can't be the same as a cis gendered woman's experience of infertility, right? It seems dismissive of that woman's pain

Trans woman can certainly feel the same pain over not being able to bear a child as cis women who can't. The original tweet doesn't work logically but 'trans women can't feel as much pain about being unable to bear children' is almost certainly false.
