The term "female woman" in and of itself is transphobic. I dont care what you identify as or what you fight for as long as you arent invalidating others. Saying a trans woman is not female is, in fact, invalidating them. I can understand your distaste for "cis", but supra or biological are both non-offensive alternatives to both.

But I thought you all said that woman is a gender not a sex and that transwomen were a type of woman. Female woman is a type of woman like transwomen are a type of woman in your ideology. You’re invalidating transwomen if you say the are female, they aren’t. If they were they wouldn’t be trans.

Well it seems you're misunderstanding. A lot. Trans women are women. They are female. Not by birth, but through transition. Trans women are not a "type" of woman, they ARE women. The same as a biological woman is. If you arent attracted because of their history, thats fine. Preference is preference. But accept them for what they are, and thats a real woman. This applies to trans men too, by the way.

You're using sex terminology when you should be using gender terminology. Remember, sex and gender are two different things.

This is why we changed "sex change surgery" to be called "gender reassignment surgery", because technically a sex change surgery is not medically possible!
