First time posting here. Tomorrow is Women's March on my country, and the main issue is the approval of abortion laws and reproductive rights for women, which is amazing! But, guess who's included and strongly emphasized in it? Trans women. I'll go anyway because I want visibility of abortion and violence against women (actual women) but I get so disgusted from thinking that these dress wearing men are standing besides me and taking away something that only affects me (and all women alike) and bring focus on them.

Which they already have, since SRS and gender changing laws already exist and are completely free for them here. The worst thing is the backlash I received when I expressed my thoughts on it being only a women's issue, and not trans people. They do not experience womanhood, they only get the nice and cute part of "feminity", not periods, not the desperation of getting pregnant and having to either die trying to get an illegal abortion, or having a child they don't want, not oppression for having a vagina. I'm pretty sad.
