I think where a lot of cis women run into difficulty with trans issues is that for a long time, trans women in feminism was framed as about inclusion, like inviting the Ugly Girl to sit with you at lunch. Many cis women think it’s about their kindness and not about the *power.*

Honestly this is still present in how TERFs are framed as exclusionists rather than exterminationists, as closer to close-minded snobs than what they really are: the mouthpieces of a violent hate movement

I see this as especially true with white feminists, who seem to have the hardest time getting that they aren't the most oppressed group, even among cis women.

This. I see the tendency in able white cis women to focus all their energy into binary cis feminism bc they literally have no experience of any other opression and their only goal is to get up to where white able cis men are.

The notion that a cis woman would be above a trans woman in the social hierarchy is such an odd concept. I feel like cis and trans should be used only when medically necessary. Otherwise, we're all women. I have a trans son and a gender-fluid former inlaw. I listen to them.
