Women's biology is what people legislate against. It is what people use to call us 'too emotional'. The fact that we can procreate is what employers frown at when thinking about hiring a woman in her early 30s. Our children's existence in our 40s makes employers wonder if we would be 'committed'. The fact that we have them creates the wage gap essentially. We are put on hormonal birth control generally as teenagers, responsible for pregnancies if they happen unexpectedly.

I'm not saying a woman's biology defines her destiny, but women's biology has had incredible impacts on women throughout history. And therefore it impacts the societal issues facing women today. An individual woman may not be defined by her reproductive choices or her biology, but women are still being brought down by it as a group. To ignore that is to ignore reality and to once again, paint women as crazy for trying to speak up against marginalization of women's rights and agendas.  [/quote]

I think I'm done here, other than to say that I'm sorry that you feel threatened by the existence of transwomen.[/quote]

Out of curiosity before you go. Are you a trans woman? Or a man/woman/trans man?[/quote]
