Yes, the more trans women are given space to talk, the clearer it is that AGP types have no idea what it's like to move through the world as a woman in an embodied way. And how can they? They lack the physical vulnerability; they lack the socialization; and very few of them pass at all. They have their own experiences, which are valid. I wish they were willing to claim and identify them. I think a lot of the tensions would be solved by that simple action of accepting their identities as what they are (trans women or trans men) and not trying to make them into something they simply aren't (natal women or natal men).

Unfortunately, the prominent activists are not willing to do this. The majority of trans people I've known in real life have been so much more grounded and honest about the differences between them and natal females or males. I think activism in the Internet area, unfortunately, rewards the most authoritarian and extreme ideologues of all types.
