No one thinks trans women are literally biological women. We are essentially like someone born without limbs that gets a prosthetic. It’s not the same, but it’s the best we can get so we can function in life. No decent person would point at someone with an artificial limb and smugly point out their functioning one (they didn’t earn.) But this is the mission of gender criticals. They enjoy belittling us because they are fundamentally bullies, and like most bullies, their behavior is based in their own insecurity. It’s just so cruel. We know what we are. That’s why we got through all the painful surgery, that’s why we deal with the ostracization. I literally lost my family over this. I didn’t ask to be born this way. From my earliest memories, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a version of myself that felt normal. As flawed as this is, it’s the best life I can have for myself.
