I've never been attacked by a transgender woman. (neither has anyone else, as far as I can tell. Although people have been attacked with dildos).

Ah, okay!

I would consider our treatment by society and the gender roles constructed for us to be what separates men and women, not the possession of a functional uterus.

Not in the same way, though. The experience of a man going through the immigration system is different from that of a woman because misogyny and sexism will inevitably affect her experience.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time there are many transgender children who are transitioning at very young ages. Is an transgender woman who transitioned as a preschooler or elementary schooler going to have that much of a different experience than a cisgender woman? Is the event of transitioning so

What do you mean?

It seems that the idea of caring about more than one thing at once is foreign to you.

Can you cite where you have encountered transgender women objecting to the discussion of vaginas in abortion discussions or the discussion of uteruses and other biology as part of a greater discussion of womanhood? I see this point brought up a lot, but have never once encountered such behavior from actual transgender

What special treatment? You'd think the military would want to cut down on the cost of care for their soldiers, not make them jump go through unnecessary hoops for the sake of outdated ideas on gender presentation.

Okay, but what about the experience of a undocumented woman? The uncertainty about your citizenship, the fear you will be detained or deported and lose custody of your children or be separated from your spouse? The intersection of misogyny and racism that creates, where you're unable to feel secure seeking help from

Clearly, there are many things that make our experiences as women differnent. Lesbians and straight women have very different experiences of their

Sure, but different cultures have different standards of politeness too, and you should respect the standards of the place you're in. In the USA, it isn't polite for a person who can carry on a sustained conversation with another person to be sucking that other person's bathing suit parts in public.

I adore lox. It's my favorite food.

"SOME"?

Clearly, you do not work in the restaurant industry.

Okay, but you still knew she was a woman. So why did you call her a boy?

How exactly did you miss that the model is a woman? How on earth did you get to the article without reading the title?

Don't disparage corsets! A well-fitting corset is actually better support than a bra for those of us cursed with large boobs. The problem is that a lot of people think "wearing a corset" = "lace this thing as tight and high as I possibly can until I can no longer breathe or feel my midsection."

It's one of those dryers where the inside compartment is set on a track and spins freely when the dryer is off. So the cat basically decided to use it as a big hamster wheel.

Technically speaking, inducing delivery of a fetus before it is viable is still abortion.
