I mean, even ignoring those cases (not that progressive ideologies forcing us to pretend that typical violent misogynistic men are women is just something to ignore), I realised that even the best, most seemingly understanding trans people still eventually reach a point where they must argue in favour of misogynistic ideas for the sake of gender validation, whether that be the usual justifications for the patriarchy, or brainsex, or "passing" defining women, plastic surgeries and artificial hormonal imbalance being in any way comparable to actually being female, claiming womanhood on the basis of an outsider's wishful thinking vs actually being a woman, the "words are meaningless and women can't be defined" nonsense etc. It is simply a reality that the goals of women and trans people are directly opposed to each other. For women, they need to shed their artificial patriarchal baggage and accept only the physical reality of their female bodies. For trans people, accepting their body is not an option, but without said patriarchal baggage, there is literally nothing making them different from anyone else of the same sex.
