Agreed, so many organizations have centered trans people that it's ridiculous. It stems beyond LGBTQ+ organizations too. Camps/clubs for girls/women in STEM? Must include transgirls/transwomen or else. Much like every news article's comment section six years ago eventually blaming Obama for breathing, every damn thing posted has to relate to transpeople every time, especially TiMs.

There was a discussion on another forum the other day about a post someone made shaming muscular women, saying that women shouldn't have abs and men have primal instincts to be attracted to curvy women only. Of course, our retort was "That's false, as everyone has different preferences, but really who cares what men find attractive? Why should that be our baseline for our appearance? Why are we constantly body shaming women no matter what?" Of course, in comes the brigade, "Well, MORE IMPORTANTLY, it's transphobic!" No, not more importantly. This was a post written by a woman shaming other women; we're not going to center transpeople yet again. Also, there is a big difference between a man being attracted to a woman with defined abs and a man being attracted to a man with defined abs.

the fact that some TRAs think that a man imitating an exaggerated version of womanhood is more important and valid than actual woman is insane.
