Last comment before I get back to working on my book: I refuse to call a man 'she' because he identifies as a woman. That goes against my core beliefs as a woman & as a social scientist. NO ONE should have to participate in their own oppression. #WarOnWomen #FemaleErasure
You're right that sexism is an enormous oppression. But trans women aren't out to get cis women, they're not out to erase us. They're doing their best to be themselves in the best way they know how. Why would anyone decide to join a group that is under constant threat of death?

What you’re saying doesn’t match up with the evidence. And women are more likely to be killed than Trans.

I'm sorry, but what part of what I said doesn't match up with the evidence? Are you saying the evidence says trans women are out get cis women and erase us? That they're not doing their best to be themselves?

Calling someone by their preferred pronoun is about respect and dignity. You can have your own beliefs and still extend respect and kindness to others. A parent may have a core belief that being gay is "wrong" yet they can still acknowledge their daughter's partner as her family.

No. Please learn about this issue. I follow some incredible people and have saved some worthwhile research, articles and links to blogs in my Moments and Bookmarks. The reality is much grimmer than what you’ve been fed by the mainstream media.

I can tell you haven’t actually done any serious reading or thinking about this issue, because you don’t know that the murder rate for TW in the US and the UK is not elevated— it’s actually lower than some other groups.
