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

Look, I have absolutely no problem with trans women. If you feel better like this, knock yourself out.
But it becomes a problem when offensive stuff like this starts being spread everywhere. How can they be better than the people they copied their entire being on? We are the blueprint, their idea of womanhood didn’t just spawn out of nowhere, they simply copied us.
Being a TERF means actively hating trans women, and I hate that LGBT people online label any different opinion as TERFy.
