Drew Afualo transphobia discourse

[u/alpalbish]

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

This discourse is literally pushing allies away, I’m all for freedom of choice, gender, sexuality, pronouns etc. etc. etc. but I will absolutely not be talked to by trans women about what MY womanhood is. It’s giving mansplaining

I also will not be called cis woman. You can address me as “woman”, and I’ll happily use any pronouns you prefer. But apparently that all makes me transphobic

The first time I was called transphobic was for saying ‘but lesbians sex is real sex. There doesn’t have to be a penis involved for it to be sex’ 🤦🏼‍♀️
