It amuses me that you write stuff like this and fail to see how you’re the problem.

Firstly, anybody who uses the word “woke” unironically deserves to be cast aside. This is a pejorative term used solely by people who maintain a traditionalist viewpoint, especially one that maintains a right to attack anyone different.

Secondly, your story there is amazing. You start from the “but trans rights do affect womens’ rights! listen…” and then proceed to tell a story that proves my point (assuming it’s real): The decision to exclude trans women was made by the lesbian group. There is no need for this because lesbian trans women have as much right to be involved in discussions regarding lesbians as lesbian cis women. Your entire point regarding this story hinges on the idea that trans women are no different from cis men, and therein lies the transphobia.

No rights are being violated by requiring trans women; the only reason you see this as a rights violation is because you are too transphobic to accept that trans women are women (not a discussion I’m willing to have with you because you’re clearly too transphobic to listen to anything of reason). This is the hate of which I previously mentioned, which you have now demonstrated fully that you are guilty of.
