[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it harm trans women to call them trans women? [/quote]

Because they’re deluded men and need to usurp and undermine women in any way possible, and feel entitled to do so. [/quote]

This hateful crap is exactly what fuels my anger.

I don’t see any of the JKR-minded people denouncing this.

I posted a few pages back specifically saying I did not support language like this. And I’ll reaffirm that I think this poster does sound hateful  and bigoted[/quote]

Thank you. [/quote]

Can the question be answered? What is the harm caused to trans women by calling them trans women?[/quote]

None as long as you acknowledge that being trans is part of their identity but they are also women. They’re women. If you can agree to that basic fact, then saying they are trans is fine because you aren’t using it to diminish or deny their womanhood. [/quote]

NP. I don’t want to agree with that. I don’t agree. I will call anyone whatever name or pronoun they want, I don’t care what bathroom they use or what they wear. I support publicly funded reassignment surgery for those with dysphoria. I will always decry violence against trans people and support trans advocacy. But privately, I do not acknowledge their womanhood. The only thing that makes me a woman is my biological femaleness and the way I have been treated and socialized because of it. [/quote]

This is a major point in my disagreement with activists.  There is a vociferous point of view that there is no difference between growing up as a boy or as a girl that can lead towards a unifying experience of manhood or womanhood and this just doesn't fit with my lived experience.

Sounds like you had a very gendered childhood. I’m sorry.
