I find it interesting that you are ok with transwomen and men being considered women and men. On the surface I agree with your premise, especially since you don’t base it on the erasure of sex... but I think there must be lines drawn. I do feel like transsexuals have a much better justification for being socially considered women. But ultimately shouldn’t we actually just base things on sex and let go of gender? You think transwomen who are males should be able to enter all women’s spaces? I don’t know I think it is a slippery slope saying transwomen are women. Women means adult human female, and if you say transwomen are women you have to change the definition. I’m all for supporting gender nonconforming people. I am one. But I think it’s really dangerous to change definitions of words to suit people’s feelings.
