    It’s not a simple yes or no question. Seeing everything in black and white is part of the problem.

    As it stands and in light of the Supreme Court Ruling, I wouldn’t see a transgender woman to be as equally a woman as a cisgendered woman, but I wouldn’t see her as a man either. It depends on what you’re talking about, whether it’s socially, medically, neurologically, theologically, ethically, in the eyes of everyone else, legally, etc.

      I am a transgender woman. I look like a woman, I think like a woman, I have the hormones of a woman, I have experienced the misogyny that women experience, I have used women’s washrooms and change rooms and other spaces for a decade at this point without issue, I have used these spaces along side cis women who knew that I am trans and cis women who didn’t know. There has never been an issue because I am a woman who uses those spaces like any other. I have been socialized like a woman, I feel like a woman, I identify as a woman.

      Am I a woman?

            Couldn’t a cis woman in a changing room tell that you were trans by your… Yknow

              I used the stalls that are often in there. Also not every trans woman has that between her legs. Surgery is relatively commonly undergone so there would be no way to tell to the point even gynaecologists assume a person is cis when they’re actually trans unless told before hand.

              Regardless I have never had a cis woman be uncomfortable around me in any woman’s space not just change rooms. My experience is not an outlier as I have known many trans women who have used women spaces without issue.
