    I heard someone call out the hypocrisy of complaining about term cis but not the term trans since neither label would be necessary if we just accepted that trans women are women. Now it’s all I can think about when I hear of cis people complaining about their label. We didn’t choose ours either.

    I also see the dumbest arguments about why the labels are necessary. People trying to feign good faith by bringing up medical treatment as a reason that labelling trans women separately is good. Cause it’s totally not a bad idea to assume every woman has a uterus, vagina, and clitoris, and an estrogen dominant hormone profile and vice-cersa with men /s. As though cis passing post-op trans people don’t exist, or intersex people. It would be better to just actually check a person’s medical history before making assumptions about how to treat them rather than based on their gender, skin color, etc.
