In better news one of my unwitting TRA women friends made some very feminist swag of the female symbol and a uterus, neither of which applies to anyone who isn't female. I wonder how much hate mail she'll get from TRAs for that or if anyone will even notice. Seems pretty clear that by making that stuff she can still tell what a woman is. So the TRA angle is probably based on ignorance.

See, when I see something like that I feel both incredibly annoyed and relieved, lol. Like I'm glad that those people still care about female people, apparently, but I wish they had enough critical thinking skills to recognize that their own beliefs are conflicting!

This one is pretty smart and no-nonsense. I think she just doesn't know what is going on yet and that a distinction must be made between the just-trying-to-live-their-lives trans people we are used to supporting and the nutjobs who have taken over and turned the whole place into their asylum at everyone else's expense.

So I have some hope, there.
