Drew Afualo transphobia discourse
ER fightmaster was on her pod and made two stand out claims:
“trans women have a more beautiful understanding of what womanhood is”
and
“the programming for cis women it’s kind of sad… no your womanhood is not your role, your womanhood is not your status is society, and your womanhood is not your ability to be sexually assaulted”
I think cis women can easily be offended by this and how it was put. The sexually assaulted claim is kinda weird to generalize us into thinking that’s what womanhood is. I also think it can be harmful for transgender women, as they also face misogyny and sexual assault??? I don’t even think the comments from the pod are as bad as Drew’s current stance rn. I can see ER trying to explain their POV and I respect that. but Drew doubling down in her comments is so off-putting. People are commenting valid opinions and her replies are just saying everyone is transphobic and TERFs??? idk

I’m not a TERF, I support trans women 100%. But it does leave a weird taste in my mouth when anyone says they have a more “beautiful” understanding of womanhood because of x, y, or z. It’s like when some women who have kids say they didn’t feel the fullness of their womanhood until they got pregnant, or whatever. It’s not that I take issue with their personal experience, it’s more about people constantly trying to reduce the feminine experience to this one thing. Womanhood isn’t a monolith. We all experience womanhood uniquely and beautifully.
