"Fe/male-Bodied" (compound noun)

An outdated term that is often used synonymously with AFAB/AMAB. This term is viewed negatively by most of the transgender community. It reinforces ideas of what constitutes "fe/male" that are discriminatory of trans people. "Wo/men" have "fe/male" bodies regardless of their trans status. The same can be applied to the terms "biological wo/men". Wo/men are both biologically and genetically women, regardless of their trans status.

This shit is so insane to me. Because there is a very, very small percentage of the population that doesn't feel 100% at home in the bodies they were born in, everyone else in the world is supposed to ignore science and play along with and reinforce their delusions.

How are there so many people that play along with this? Are they just so obsessed with being viewed as a "good person" that they're terrified of being critical?

Maybe once more issues and bigger issues arise from going along with this more people will start voicing opposition.

I think it's to do with poisoning the well.

The TRA go in and tell them "we are the most oppressed group but our oppressors are so smart and evil it's not always obvious. They often hide their attacks on us under fake concerns but you smart enlightened people will be able to see that, right?"

Scientology do a similar thing with the local establishment when they first move into the area. It was covered on Leah Remini's show in season 3 episode 11, I think.

Not only Scientology, all hate groups are built around "we are so much more advanced than our oppressors it's not funny, and yet we are also oppressed by them for this."
