My existence as a trans woman is not up for debate.
The problem w/these tweets is they are harmful to trans people. They contribute to self-harm. We get plenty of messages from society that we are less than, AG Barr just argued to the Supreme Court that trans girls are male, Hungary just eliminated recognition of trans individuals. I could go on and on.
The tweets started b/c Delores (the ultra rich white woman) got triggered by inclusive language. Now we have to spend the day defending our existence.
We are a very small minority of the population, our existence takes nothing away from others. Please just leave us alone.

Ouch. Never fails to amaze me how people who haven’t really had time to think about these issues feel imminently qualified to endorse a side.
The tweets are transphobic.

So instead of trying to have an honest discussion about gender and sex like JK Rowling and the people in that thread are doing, we’re just gonna call them all transphobes?
@C1 @K1 thank you all for sharing your perspective on this. Question from someone who is actively trying to be a better ally to the trans community: would it be problematic to use female in this case since the definition of the word is tied to sex rather than gender? Or is is still insulting since some people may use it thinking it refers to just cis-gender women?
