      If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

      The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women - ie, to male violence - ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences - is a nonsense.

      I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.

          Transwomen are male because adult male human beings are the only people who can be trans women! Women, adult female human beings, can't be trans women because they are women. Reality bites.

          My daughter socially transitioned at 4. She turned 13 yesterday. Her entire memory of life has been shaped by being female!!! Because she IS female. And she absolutely would feel like you hated her if you denied that reality.

          there is sooo much to unpack here. first of all trans people ARE discriminated against on the basis of being trans, there is no “if”, and here you are, not marching with the LGBT community.
