It's not even necessarily that we're jealous of transwomen, they just think that we're closeted "non-binary" or trans men. When our entire point is that we criticize certain gendered labels (calling yourself "non-binary" is completely subjective, unlike calling yourself gay).

Somebody in the thread literally said this:

Speaking as an old person, I think a LOT, and possibly the vast majority, of 2ndwave feminists are nonbinary AFAB&AMAB people

So in other words they're ordinary everyday people who never needed a special label.

One of the reasons we didn't need special labels was coz there was no social media or any other platform on which to announce to the world and show off "identity" labels.
