Transwomen: what is something you wish other women could understand?

1 comment

1. That trans is an adjective. I’m a trans woman, not a “transwoman”. I’m also a tall woman, a curly haired woman, an autistic woman… That there are a lot of adjectives that give you one facet of us, and trans is rarely the most important. The thing that remains is that I am who I say I am; a woman.

   That we know our upbringing/socialisation was likely different from yours, but it wasn’t the same as a cis man’s either.

   That there are no prizes for “most victimised”.

   That we are fighting with you, not against you.
