      Many women because of circumstances or life course also don’t risk these forms of discrimination and hardship. If they experience do not does that make them less of a woman? Why are real hardships and discrimination experienced by trans women not also recognizable then?

      There is no such thing as "less of a woman" or "more of a woman". Its not a quantitative thing. Men also experience hardships and discrimination. We can recognise this. It does not make them "less of a man" etc...

      This person appears to be arguing that because their hypothetical risk factors of experiencing these particular female hardships are nil, they should not be treated as women?

      No. She is not (she is not here having been thrown off twitter so i'll take the liberty of saying what i think she is saying). She is saying that being a woman is a material reality. There are specific risks and vulnerabilities associated with that material reality, and...

      ... therefore there are specific (hard fought for) legal protections for women as a sex. These are not based on 'gender identity' - you cannot identify into or out of these specific risks & vulnerabilities so they should remain tied to the material reality of sex.

          You ask whether transwomen should be 'treated like women'. Sure, if by that you mean treated as human beings, fully equal to any other, free to wear what they like, not bullied or harassed.

          Yes. Me too. I'm easily distracted. Everyone has human rights. These are universal. Women have specific protection for their human rights based on their sex. I don't want these taken away.
