RE: "White women" and "cis women" being used interchangeably

( BlackCirce )
Their reasoning:

White people decided black people are more masculine than white people.

Thus black women are more masculine than white women.

Black women then, are a type of man because masculinity is a male trait.

If some women (black ones) are men, the reverse must also be true, some men are women.

For black women (men) to be recognized as women, we have to also recognize trans women (men) as women. That’s called intersectional feminism.

Addendum: women who disagree with this reasoning are white supremacists.

This really is their logic.

"Well, if you can let black women into your spaces, then you can let transwomen in, too!"

( pennygadget )
And they never do this with other races. They never say, "if you let in a Japanese woman, you have to let in trans-women, too!". This trans movement is blatantly anti-Black

( HalfMentalAlchemist )
Half of TIMs want to be Japanese girls.

( ALoudMeow )
HALF? More like 99.99%

( HalfMentalAlchemist )
The other half want to be their wife or mum.

OMG I have seen this argument soo many times on reddit, that trans women are just a "type" of women, like black women, or red-haired women.

( proudcatlady )
This makes sense to them because all of those things are porn categories

Personally, I haven't noticed this. I have seen many TIMs and TRA allies referring to black women as cis black women, but I do agree that it is less and less. I actually think this is happening because black women are constantly refusing to be described as cis. You saw this during the Jess hilarious situation, and even TS madison (a TIM) promised to no longer use cis when describing women or around women.

I think more white women need to boldly reject this, instead I see a lot of them adopting this ideology. CIS is a slur.

( pegasusknight )
I know this is old news, but TIMs hate women. More than frat boys. They use “cis” and “white” (and their trans identity) as a shield to say what they really think about women.

( Re-enacterf )
They just want to hate women and tell us to shut up, and this is their in.
