Seems overly complicated and almost Victorian in as much as it's a way to distance against messy biology.

Some people are quite passionate about this! I think woman is a fine descriptor, and I don't see how it disables transwoman, certainly both can coexist. I always have to leave room for the possibility that there's some aspect of this discussion to which I am not yet educated. But that's my take for now.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-41930181737731223002021-07-03T23:18:50.360+02:002021-07-03T23:18:50.360+02:00There they go.....shoulding on you.
