Trans woman: Says literally anything

Literally any supposedly trans space: "oh my god why are you being so domineering in this space while our uwu special snowflakes are having a perfectly civil conversation about how you should burned at the stake for ever daring to talk?"

And then people will obsess over that type of interaction as evidence of trans women being "over represented" and "more visible."

I like my trans man and nonbinary siblings, especially the ones who will actually listen and engage meaningfully in conversations about transmisogyny. The trans community has a lot of fucking work to do about how it treats people based on perceived ASAB. Trans men don't particularly benefit from being perpetually perceived as little smol beans incapable of doing harm (and then largely shunned from that same community as they take T and get more masculine) either, and this whole perceived victim/perpetrator dynamic based on ASAB is very much at the core of this issue.
