There is no such thing as ''feels like a woman''.
I'm a woman when I'm happy, when I'm angry, when I'm drunk, when I'm horny. I'm a woman when I'm being a dick to people, when I'm sanding furniture, when I'm baking carrot cakes. 1/

I'm a woman when I'm solving riddles, when I'm playing the X-Box, when I run myself a bath. I'm a woman when I think ''hey, I need to buy lightbulbs'' and when I wrestle my tits into a too-tight swimming costume. 2/
I was an almost-woman when I thought ''Jesus, I've sliced a chunk of skin off!'' the first time I shaved my legs. I was an almost-woman when my female body was raped, when I was drugged. I was an almost-woman when I had my abortion. 3/
I was an almost-woman when I first realised I couldn't run down the street without a bra because adult men would make disgusting remarks. 4 /
My feelings, my thoughts change constantly. Regardless, they're all encased in a female body. The actions all performed by it - a woman's body. A body the world reacts to as female, and always has. A body the world has treated as a woman's body since I was an almost-woman. 5/
The feelings and thoughts and actions don't make me a woman. The woman part came first. 6 /
For a man, someone who has lived their life from birth in a male body, being treated as a male, to say he ''feels like a woman'' is one of the most disgusting things possible. It's beyond the pale. It's another punch in the gut, another insult, another degrading remark. 7 /
Just another violation in a long line of violations women face. Another bit of gaslighting. Another man trying to sneak into my head and tell me how I feel, how I should act, that he knows me better than I know myself.
And I, frankly, won't stand for it. 8/
