I was an ally in terms of including the kind of trans women I thought all were at the time (after surgery etc., with strong gender dysphoria).

I had no idea that being inclusive means handing over my own definition of my womanhood, erasing the female body and turning the class of all biological women, oppressed on the basis of sex, into a sub-category of the gender identity class 'women', where they are now viewed as the privileged part of that class while male-bodied women are the truly oppressed ones.

And I had no idea that noticing those things in my second paragraph would be interpreted as transphobia.
