Transphobia, and the bigoted reduction of women.

On nearly every social media platform, there is constantly an argument between people who love and support trans people, and bigots. This argument is about if trans people are truly the gender they identify with. The people who support trans people argue that trans people are the gender they identify with, while bigots say that they are not. When the bigots are asked what separates trans people from “real” people, the bigots pull out the same tired ass argument, specifically about trans women. They say that being a “real” woman is about their ability to carry a baby in their uterus, and give birth. That’s it. That the tired ass argument they whip out every time.
