Terfs: haha you so obviously don’t pass you’re clearly not a real woman Trans woman: *presents femininely*
Terfs: oh my god so you think being a woman means playing into patriarchal beauty standards? wow you’re a misogynist.”
It’s almost like trying to present yourself to any sort of cis standards, especially those of a hate group, is flawed and should just be discarded as a goal and not given a second thought ever again because you rock and are beautiful and they have broken souls. (via chicklikemeblog)
It is deeply frustrating and sometimes painful to see and experience the way that people often equate being visibly trans with being “not a real woman.” While trans women who are fortunate enough to have passing privilege are increasingly being accepted as “real” women (which of course they are), those trans women who are visibly trans more often have our status as women questioned and mocked. (To see this in action, compare the Youtube comments on videos by trans women who might be perceived as cisgender women with comments on videos by trans women who are visibly trans.) There is an increasing acceptance of trans women in general in our culture and that is wonderful, but it is absolutely vital, as this progress is made, that any notion that being visibly trans makes you less authentic a woman than any other woman, trans or cis, is aggressively challenged and dismantled.
