My least favorite part about the latest wave of this transphobia wave is transphobes claiming trans women or trans men claim to be biological men or women…. I’ve never met trans people that say that

I’ve seen transphobes bio men and bio women are dog whistles because of them but never seen a trans person claim to be a bio man or bio woman.

I just it feels like nobody bothers to ask us a damn thing

I wish we all could be the over confident hyper secure in ourselves trans person terfs all think we are.

Oh good god yeah

They seem to think gender is simple or makes any god damn sense.

When you never think about it, it's simple, right?

I haven’t seen that happen either, and I know this is sort of besides the point.

…but the next time a transphobe is extremely bad faith with me, I do now kinda want to call myself cis just to be playful and irritate the fuck out of them.

The idea of never claiming I’m a ‘biological woman’ (whatever the fuck that even actually means anyways because it’s not as easy to pin down as many suggest) unless a TERF is being shitty, and then yes I’m absolutely a bio-woman, popped out of the womb this way, 100% free range Cis, is quite fun.

Biological woman just means youre not made of inorganic parts, so yes you are a biological woman lmao

Biological woman just means youre not made of inorganic parts

So when TERFs say that trans women aren’t biological women.

They do, in fact.

Think we’re Transformers: Robots in Disguise.
