She transitioned like 10 years ago, she's figured out the voice thing a long time ago...

I remember when I had to "figure out" what my voice is, took sooo much effort and learning to get it right.

Also, to be clear, I do not give a damn about your friend or your own personal life story. I was talking about the manipulative tactics of trans people in general, such as mimicking misogynistic caricatures of women or doing what you're doing here where you try to get women to feel bad for having rights because your friend was suicidal and that's the fault of feminists. A favourite tactic of misogynistic men, since we're drawing parallels to bigots. Or wait, should we only talk about racism because misogyny isn't really a problem? Maybe you should say "bitch" a few more times just to drive the point home.

For every sob story you have, women have thousands more of all the ways in which misogyny has traumatised them and lead them to self-harm and suicide. For every man talking about how his feminazi mother (in many cases not even actually feminist, more like not as misogynistic as his bros) ruined his life, thousands of women deal with objectification, dehumanisation and danger every day. This "privileged" "gender-validating" existence is sold to us as such by the same people who further our oppression and then demand we shed tears over how hard this system is on them and how good we have it.
