“trans women are biologically female.” I dislike the term “biologically (gender)” because it tries to group a bunch of continuously varying traits into a single dimension. It gets too vague to usefully apply to transgender and especially intersex people, and even cis people outside of the supposed normal for their gender.

“trans women are womyn-born-womyn.” I fear I’m not chronically online enough to understand this.

“trans women are female-bodied.” I give you this one because of how open “female-bodied” is to interpretation.

“trans women have female chromosomes.” Not in a useful way, unless we’re talking about someone with XX chromosomes, was assigned male at birth, and identifies as a woman. So some do, yes.

“trans women have female reproductive systems.” Not usually in a useful way.

“trans women’s genitals are female.” Some.

“trans women’s secondary sex characteristics are female.” Some.

“trans women have female voices.” Some.

Yes this is mean. I do not care.

It’s hard to tell what you’re trying to say at all aside from “these ones are wrong, actually”

The subtext of a sentences like:

“trans women’s secondary sex characteristics are female.” Some.

“trans women have female voices.” Some.

reads as “some of a trans women’s secondary sex characteristics are male.” and “some trans women have male voices.”

What is a male voice? What is a female voice? What benefit is there in telling a women she has male secondary sex characteristics, other than making her feel worse.

You can be technically correct, in the scientific sense, while still being unhelpful and potentially hurtful.

The science around sex is extremely complicated and can’t be boiled down to words like “some”.

The fucking point of the post is that girl is girl is girl!

No gatekeeping. If someone uses she/her pronouns she’s a girl. Even if she has stuff that isn’t typically girl things, she’s a girl so that’s her girl parts.

ALL girls, even trans girls, have girl bodies, girl voices, girl genetics, and girl EVERYTHING.

YOU might have internalized transphobia but that is a YOU problem.

I reblogged the boobkittenprincess post because frankly it was one of the most supportive for trans girls things Ive heard in a long while… and your stupid ass goes ‘umm ackually 🤓☝️" and starts nitpicking in a way that’s hard to read as anything but transphobic.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
