Isn’t transwomen’s whole thing pretending to look feminine? And now they’re mad about it?

Now now, that would be gatekeeping. Trans activists today have realised that any concept of womanhood that's based on physical appearance would end up excluding some males and so, since exclusion is the ultimate sin, they've completely untethered the concept of womanhood from anything that can actually be observed.

Transwomen know the only actual requirements for womanhood and lesbianism, respectively, are “be an adult female” and “be a homosexual female.” They also seem to get that they’ll never fulfill these definitions, so they try to abstract and redefine womanhood and lesbianism to nebulous, quasi-spiritual terms that they can weasel into. (God be damned if these new terms exclude women and lesbians!)

Which really seems like how we’ve gotten to the nonsense of “transwomen face prejudice at the gym because they’re pressured to wear makeup and spandex.” Anyone who’s ever been to a gym knows this is bollocks. The only reason transwomen face “prejudice” is because they’re a man in the women’s locker room that everyone else sees and understands as a man.
