If you actually believe this, then you're not paying attention. The current party line of trans activists is that transwomen are biologically female and were indeed born biologically female, and transmen are biologically male and were born biologically male. They have not only erased the definition of "woman," but they have now erased the definition of "female." This has multiple immediate consequences: We can't talk about female genital mutilation because any genitals can be female. MRAs love this because they can swoop in to any article about FGM so much easier to cry about circumcision and do their "WHAT ABOUT THE MEN???"

We can't talk about female reproductive health because that can refer to any reproductive organs. Prostate cancer can be a female reproductive health issue. We can't talk about female infanticide or female-selective abortion because we don't know how those babies or fetuses would have identified -- maybe they were really male? We can't talk about girls being denied education because some of those girls might be boys.

We can't talk about shared female experiences like menstruation because there are none -- males menstruate and females don't menstruate. We can't talk about the poisonous way that females are socialized into the inferior sex caste because some of those females are really males and some of what people think are males are actually females, so there is actually no such thing as female socialization. By extension, there is also no such thing as male socialization, because some of those males are actually females and some of what people think are females are actually males. There can be no female-specific spaces, sports teams, colleges, scholarships, clubs, music groups, work places, jails, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, or rape crisis shelters, because people who appear to be female may identify as male and so be actually biologically male, and those who appear to be male may identify as female and so be actually biologically female.

This fantasy land of magical thinking has made it fully impossible for women to discuss anything related to female oppression. It has made it impossible for women to have anything for ourselves. Your activists come in and trounce on every. fucking. conversation. we try to have and language police, tone police, demand to be centered, and demand that we change actual reality to fit their desires. This is pure male entitlement and it's utter bullshit. We are saying no, and people socialized as male can't handle it when women tell them no. That's why /r/terfisaslur is filled with transwomen threatening women with death, rape, mutilation, assault, and even cannibalism.

And it's not "bad experiences with certain people." It's pretty much all trans activists who behave this way. Trans people outside the activist community are often normal, nice people and many of us call them friends, myself included. But your activists are toxic, poisonous narcissists. They are violent misogynists who are going to eventually tank your whole movement with their increasingly unreasonable, unstable, and ridiculous behavior.
