"Laura Jane Grace has no grounds to speak on females' experience or being a woman because he knows nothing about it"

But people will only argue that you have no right to speak on experiences outside your own if you're offering a dissenting view. If a white person takes the knee and recites the catechism that the US / UK or wherever is a horribly racist dystopian nightmare that is basically stuck in the forties when it comes to race relations, then said white person is 'being a good ally' and 'amplifying marginalised voices'.

If someone comes out and says 'trans women are trans women' or anything else that might be construed as even the slightest bit politically inconvenient, out come the corozas, sanbenitos, secular accusations of heresy and 'you can't speak for the [marginalised group] because you don't understand their lived experience!'
