      However, cis girls and women – in general – experience the privilege of being seen, accepted and respected in their gender from birth.

      That doesn’t negate threats of violence, harassment or oppression in a patriarchal society – things trans women of any age also face.

      This convo falls apart with more and more trans folks coming out at younger ages. It also conveniently leaves out transmasculine folks.

      The violence that gender nonconforming and gender diverse kids face is real and always left out of this essentialist conversation.

      Do we tell a cis woman she’s less of a woman if she says she's never experienced harassment or violence or overt discrimination? No.

      Trans women have been hypersexualized in the media, exploited for our bodies, paid less, denied healthcare and told our voices are invalid.

      It’s nonsensical and *privileged* to require trans women to experience certain instances of oppression to prove their womanhood.

      If that were the case many of your rich, cishet, white faves wouldn’t be “real women” either.

      We don't need public debates on trans women. We need trans women elevated and allowed to speak for themselves.
