      Why can’t trans women count as women? Trans women have historically faced even higher rates of discrimination than cis women.

      I’ve never bought this notion that recognizing trans women as women in turn affects women’s rights or systems that support women. That’s like saying just because my 23 and me came back 1% African we should stop DEI because if everyone is diverse then it doesn’t make sense to support diversity. (I swear to God, if I get Trump jokes—).

      Life is complicated and we’ve managed to evolve systems to handle it before, we can continue. If I can have 3 ways to sort my 401k or do my taxes then I can have a world where I’m a feminist and that includes trans women
