@emily_esque I did: I asked if you don't feel like a woman.

@v_urq Of course I feel like a woman because I am a woman. But @emilybazelon implied that transness is just a feeling. Bad writing *at best*

@emily_esque @emilybazelon Do we have a firm understanding of what transness is and what causes it?

@v_urq @emilybazelon No on etiology but we have a firm understanding of its ontology: that trans women ARE women and trans men ARE men.

@emily_esque As I understand it, we know trans women are women because they feel and say they are. The writing hewed to what we know atm.

@v_urq @emily_esque this is also true of Cis women then, not cause of biology, as your own case proves. So why the special mention for TW?

@v_urq @emily_esque I.e. Women (Cis + Trans) are women because they say they are not anatomy. Why do you insist on separating out TW?

@v_urq @emily_esque you don't seem to understand the logical and rhetorical flaw in talking only about TW when it's the case for all women
