treated as merely as other men is wrong

I don't think we should be treating men and women radically different in society, but I get what you're saying here. I never said that that is literally all there is to it but a trans woman is a biological male. I'll call them a woman but what I'm driving at is that the experience of a trans woman and my experience as woman are radically different. This should not be controversial.

There has been no definitive science that the brains of trans women are similar to cis women. Whatever portion of gender is nature vs nuture, that's still a small part of the equation and ultimately freedom from gender is progress. Gender as a concept has been used throughout most of history to justify discrimination as women and the fact that we're now obsessing about it and codifying it into liberal dogma is regressive.

Everyone is called a terf these days for no reason. I browse terf spaces online primarily for the lesbian communities. I do consider myself a feminist and align with most "terfy" beliefs but not all of them.
