I’ve been in a bathroom stall when a man walked in. Women’s feet don’t face the toilet, so I knew it was a man. A wall between me and him didn’t make me any less scared, nor did it change the fact that I was sitting there with my pants and underwear around my kneecaps. It didn’t.

The logic is flawed to you because you're not a woman and you want to be. You're trying to find a way to be included in something that's not inclusive. You're trying to complicate something simple because the simplicity of it all means you don't fit in. The basis of womanhood.
@thisissavvy1 Your main point seemed to be that womanhood is at least partially dependent on menstruation and the experiences that come with it, but that logic seems somewhat flawed to me.

“Cis” was created as an antonym to trans. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with validating transgenderism. Making you or whoever feel validated is not my responsibility. Asking me to alter my identity or self-perception so a man who hates his manhood feels.
@AmazonLoni What is it about the word “cis” that bothers y’all so much? It’s just a term to refer to biological women, just shorter.

A period is the shedding of the uterine lining and marks day one of your menstrual cycle. If ovulation ends without a pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels drop and this begins the shedding process. Ovulation just ended for me, so in a few days I’m going to get a 24-hour.
Bleeding and shedding your uterine lining is a SYMPTOM of your period, not the cause. Your period is caused by your HORMONE levels, and the physiological effects they have on your body. Trans women hormone levels fluctuate on HRT just like cis women. We do in fact get periods.

The male pelvis can't expand because it’s not designed to expand. It’s too thick, too heavy, and too narrow. Blocking male puberty does not a female pelvis make. Blocking male puberty doesn't reshape the pelvis, it just increases their risk of osteoporosis and other bone density.

It's not their space. They're not female, which means they're not women. Transwomen are men who identify as women. You can identify however you want, but that doesn't change anything for the rest of the world. Your identity is not the sun; we don't revolve around you. We’re not.

“C*sgender” was created to validate transsexuals. That word has nothing to do with me or 99% of the population. I don't identify as a woman. What does that even mean? What constitutes a “woman” identity? I'm a woman because I'm female. I don't need to do anything, be anything, or.
@thisissavvy1 Gender is the internal identity in relation to your biological sex. Either C*sgender, the identity aligns with biological sex, or transgender, the identity doesnt align or doesnt fully align with biological sex. Its pretty simple really. Kids understand it easily.

If hearing the “wrong pronouns” can cause you to be suicidal, then this is a mental health issue and asking people to play along is dangerous and abusive. If hearing the wrong pronouns causes depression so severe you want to end your life, then the problem is in your brain, not.
Using correct pronouns is suicide prevention. Using correct pronouns transcends gender identity. Using correct pronouns is basic human dignity. Using correct pronouns is affirming and validating. Using correct pronouns is allyship in action. #InternationalPronounsDay.

“Female” is an existence rooted in biology. You can't identify your way into a sex class, you're either born that way or you're not. Having a more feminine or masculine personality or style doesn't make you one or the other. I don't identify as a woman, I just am. I don't wake.
Gender identity is real. We all have a gender identity. Mine is male. Womens' gender identity is female. Trans women have a gender identity that is not the same as their biological sex. Their trans identity is different but equally as valid as the female identity of other women
