I am still on the outside looking in to Gender Critical. My views are essentially that trans women are women, but that there should be more room to discuss that cis women also have their own unique needs and language as well. I think that is not too far off JK Rowling's position, based on what she has written. What draws me here is there is support for women that you don't get in liberal feminism. I agree with GC on a few things, like women in sports and having certain spaces being cis women only. I'm mostly here to support women. I hope I won't be banned here.

Well everyone has to start somewhere. Hopefully by continuing to look in, you will come to know that just because a biological male takes hormones or has a few surgeries, he is always and ever will be, a biological male. His genetics and many internal and external structures will never change no matter how much he wants it to happen. He will never truly know or understand what it is like to be a biological female and live in an actual female body, he will never know or understand the cultural socialization that biological females experience every moment of every day since birth. His view of what a woman is entirely based on stereotypes of what men believe women are like.

That's why transwomen are not women. They are transwomen, but they are and ever will be males. And there is no such thing as a cis person. Cis is a term that is being used to erase women as if actual women are only a small, insignificant category among 97,000 other "gender identities" that we can somehow all just wake up and "decide" to put on that day.

The trans movement has reduced women to stereotypes and our genitals, every part of our body is female, or DNA and chromosomes are female and they are in every part of our body too, that's something that men can't replicate and change within themselves.
