Ive seen that #notjustwomen bollocks on twitter surrounding the womens march. I was so pissed off at it.

How can you be so clueless as to how insulting that is?

It also utterly invalidates my gender identity. I am a woman because I have a female body and because others treat me a certain way due to not having a male body. Yet suddenly my female body should be written about as if it was gender-neutral (people get pregnant now or bodies)! That leaves me without an identity and the other side tells me that this outcome is annihilating.

You know what, i have never looked at it that way that it leaves women without a "gender identity" if we are just birthing people or menstruators.

That is actually a really good point.
