Talmbout "do you believe trans women are women?" "I believe trans women are trans women" because womanhood "is an experience."
Someone come get your fave Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and fix her politics around trans women, please. As in like immediately.

Talmbout "it's difficult for me to equate your experience as someone who's *changed genders* with someone who's always lived as a woman."
-
Meanwhile multiple subjectivities? MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES OF WOMANHOOD?!
-
How do you open your mouth about gendered violence and then have a transmisogynistic feminism give that trans women are targeted because...
-
...they embody a womanhood that society REFUSES TO AFFIRM?!
-
I've never really been a fan of her public feminism, because I've always found it a bit reductive. Particularly so now.
-
I hope she accounts for and changes her tune about this because that is an irresponsible and ugly and violent politic and platform is huge.

Some anti-transmisogyny 101: it covers the "socialized as male" TERF talking point deployed in Adichie's commentshttp://everydayfeminism.com/2015/10/trans-women-male-privilege/ …

Affirming that trans women are women does not require trans women to have identical experiences as cis women.
-
Affirming that trans women are women means recognizing trans women face both transphobia and misogyny.
-
Trans women are women ≠ "Trans women have identical experiences as cis women." Second statement isn't a requirement for the first. Come on
-
"Trans women and cis women have different experiences"
"Trans women aren't really women"

Oh boy. The TL currently looks like this.pic.twitter.com/Lpk0SqOeXy

Yeah I've said my piece and I'm moving on. The defense of her as defense of self is what makes me most mad, I think.
-
I agree. I'm just gonna quietly read the TL and absorb what trans women are saying, per usual. This is disappointing.
