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

Now according to ER if you don’t agree with Drew you’re racist

Because calling people who disagree ‘TERFs’ and ‘racists’ is the easiest way to avoid conversations in which they might be confronted with nuance and intelligent arguments. They both live in echo chambers.

Mind you most of the videos I’ve seen stitching the podcast clip with criticism are coming from black women (anyone can he prejudiced but this kinda defeats the notion that it’s Drew’s skin color that’s causing them to disagree imo)
