To the small group of cis women worried about sharing spaces with trans women: you’ve almost certainly already been doing so for most of ur life. The online trend of anti-trans hysteria is new, not trans women existing in th world we all share (under patriarchy we all experience)
The world can be scary for women: we are at risk of violence from men we know and men we don’t, we can be ridiculed and ignored in health settings, mocked in popular culture, excluded from opportunities for leadership and power. Cis women share all these experiences w trans women
Over history, ideas of who is a Real Woman/who is not has been weaponised to justify slavery, forced sterilisation, rape, genocide.
Feminism rejects oppressive definitions of women. Womanhood is no longer only afforded to bodies that are white, wealthy, fertile, appealing to men

I urge this small group of cis women to consider whether they actually know any trans women, or whether they are basing their worry on clickbaity viral videos and the mass panic within online groups that organise solely around a shared belief re trans women.
I am once again flagging to people wishing to have a debate about this thread that this is a one-way communique today. Feel free to argue if that’s what makes you happy but I’m not arguing back
