Serious post: if you're a man who runs with a social justice crowd and your friends are trying to prod you into identifying as a woman, asking if you're sure you're a man, saying they'd like you (or other male friends) better as a woman, etc. get out of there and loving unplug and deprogram, I have seen it happen and it is legitimate, severe abuse with real consequences.

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

I had a female friend basically get bullied into not claiming to be cisgendered simply because it was too much for her friends. She's straight, biologically female, married, has a kid, isn't a lesbian, loves being female, is completely comfortably with her body staying the way it is. She's one of the staunchest feminists I know, and a pretty nice person to boot. Basically, isn't trans by any understood definition of the word.

"But how could someone like that be cis?" they said, basically. It was pretty weird.

The current big trans/femme rift is whether or not transwomen should be allowed to claim that they've lost their male privilege post-transition, because having the resources to transition obv. means you're loaded with other types of privilege too like doctor affording privilege

Same but with "straight" or "heterosexual". Much like any fringe group, activism groups attract abusive personalities, who will use whatever means necessary to excuse and justify their abuse.

i don't have any evidence to back that up. but the person i know who is the most about white people and straight people is a straight white dude whose dad is a racist and homophobic ex-cop. it's like a mirror image.

Affirming once again that "oppression" is the gold star these people are shooting for.

They've reacted to being told that their ideas about race and identity politics only apply to American society by saying that only Americans can be white. Impressive.

Stumbled upon this photo today.

Real people in actual China are literally shaking because of all the cultural appropriation (they've caused themselves by asking this lady to pose for them in a traditional Chinese dress). She's not white, though, because she's Russian.

Nah, don't forget that people who identify as trans don't really need to actually take steps to transition, so you can be a proud fierce trans woman while you're loving a dude up the rear end with your cock that you enjoy having just as long as you refer to your cock as your 'queen-sized clittie stick'.

Let's just say this: someone who tells you things like, "I'm transgender now. No, you can call me by the same name. No, you don't have to use different pronouns. No, I'm not doing HRT. No, I'm not changing my wardrobe _{shucks, I just don't want to be an imposition is all}" may in fact have, gasp, an ulterior motive.

Clarification on terminology, pls. A trans woman is a man that got the operation and is now a woman? Or does that term also include cross dressers and even men that identify as women?

No, she has actually completely appropriated Chinese tea culture! You wash the tea leaves before brewing the tea to take the bitter edge off. The initial water is then emptied out, sometimes on the table.
